 Lebanonwire.com | Habash calls for Arafat’s resignation but won’t hold his breath
Habash said Israel and the United States would exploit Arafat’s desire to hold onto power as a way of forcing him to do their bidding, and suggested that the Americans might still prefer that he remain in office for that reason, even though the Israelis may publicly demand his head.
Habash then recalled how he resigned as secretary-general of the PFLP some years ago “to set an example to others” and demonstrate that “a leader doesn’t have to retain his post forever, and can serve the cause … from a different position.”
Habash said a “distinction must be drawn” between the Palestinian leadership changes and institutional reforms that Israel and the US have started demanding to serve their ends, and the similar calls that the Palestinians have long been making with the goal of strengthening the liberation struggle.
