ADL Backgrounder - The Palestinian Commitment to Revise the Palestinian Covenant Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. Accordingly the Palestinian people, desirous as they are of the friendship of all people, look to freedom-loving, and peace-loving states for support in order to restore their legitimate rights in Palestine, to re-establish peace and security in the country, and to enable its people to exercise national sovereignty and freedom. On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir) constitute - both their organizations and the individuals - one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle. www.adl.org /backgrounders/revision_of_plo_covenant.asp   (2338 words)

Recent polls show that at least half of all Palestinians are reluctant to change the charter until Israel allows them their own constitution and statehood.

Amending the National Charter by cancelling the articles that are contrary to the letters exchanged between the PLO and the Government of Israel, on September 9 and 10, 1993.

THE PALESTINIAN NATIONAL CHARTER [They tell us they want to destroy Israel and we don't listen] Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of colonialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in Diaspora (mahajir) constitute- both their organizations and the individuals- one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle. That is why the Palestinian people look to the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/974118/posts   (3522 words)

Clinton addresses Palestinian National Council as charter is amended The Palestinian National Council today reaffirmed the cancellation of articles in the Palestinian National Charter that refer to the destruction of Israel by a show of hands that took place in Gaza in the presence of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and US President Bill Clinton. Clinton in his speech before the Palestinian National Council described this day as "historic" and thanked the Palestinians for their decision to annul the charter provisions. The issue of the Charter was one of the sticking points in the implementation of peace agreements, as Israel had not been satisfied by earlier Palestinian statements that the charter items in question had been made null and void in 1996. www.arabicnews.com /ansub/Daily/Day/981214/1998121460.html   (460 words)

Israel demands change in Palestinian national charter Israeli political circles accused the Palestinian Authority of circumvention and alleged the message justified Israel's call for convening the Palestinian National Council to abrogate the charter in a clear way. Meanwhile, a member of the Palestinian supreme committee of negotiations with Israel, Nabil Omar, said Israel is sparing no efforts to impose tough conditions on the Palestinians, and to flee basic peace obligations. He said if the Palestinians decided to sit at the negotiating table, they would be prohibited from resorting to violence. www.arabicnews.com /ansub/Daily/Day/980127/1998012728.html   (267 words)

ADL WELCOMES PALESTINIAN NATIONAL COUNCIL VOTE REVOKING ANTI-ISRAELI CLAUSES IN CHARTER We are pleased that Chairman Yasir Arafat has fulfilled the promise he made to the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in September 1993 to revoke the anti-Israel clauses in the Palestinian National Charter. New York, NY, April 24, 1996...The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed the vote by the Palestine National Council (PNC) to revoke the clauses in the Palestinian National Charter which call for Israel's destruction. Israel and its friends around the world have long considered the removal of these egregious clauses as an important demonstration of Chairman Arafat's and the PNC's commitment to reconciliation with the State of Israel and were extremely concerned by the delay in convening this historic vote. www.adl.org /PresRele/IslME_62/2721_62.asp   (222 words)

Commentary on Claimed Change to Palestinian Charter There is only one way to change the Charter, and it's stated explicitly in the Charter itself: "Article 33: This Charter shall not be amended save by [vote of] a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of the National Congress of the Palestine Liberation Organization [taken] at a special session convened for that purpose." A week later, on May 5, 1996, Gaza attorney Faisal Hamdi Husseini, the head of the Palestine National Council (PNC) Judicial Committee announced that he would submit a new Palestinian Covenant in three months in which 21 articles will be changed or canceled. The Clinton Administration's satisfaction with Arafat's handling of the Palestinian Covenant is a real puzzle: Back on September 9, 1993, Arafat promised in a letter to Yitzhak Rabin that "the provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid. www.gamla.org.il /english/article/1998/jan/ler13.htm   (699 words)

The Shadow of the Palestinian National Charter - User comments at DanielPipes.org Would you care to comment on the fact that the Palestinian National Charter of 1968 has never been revised or revoked, despite the many requests on the part of Israel's friends? I believe the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish violence we have seen through the years is the result of the "Palestinians" adhering to their covenant to replace Israel and the Jews with themselves. Arafat, by himself, has no importance in this matter; as long as the charter is in effect, someone will be there to make sure it gets upheld. www.danielpipes.org /comments/326   (268 words)

Address to the Jordanian National Congress The next phase was to translate the principles of this national charter into reality and in the form of political pluralism and political parties, whose pan-Arab and universal outlook emanate from the Jordanian homeland and its message, functioning in conformity with the provisions of the constitution and the principles of the national charter. We are at a crossroads made by national and global realities which touch every Jordanian here and every Palestinian in the occupied territories and in the diaspora. Nationalism does not mean that we can mislead, discredit or unjustly undermine the security institutions which must remain apolitical to enable them to be the shield for the country in facing any threat to the state. www.kinghussein.gov.jo /91_oct12.html   (5824 words)

Wye and the Palestinian Covenant Netanyahu is back to insisting that the full Palestinian National Council must muster a majority — two-thirds majority vote to revoke clauses in the Palestinian Charter which the Israelis consider hostile to them. The cabinet also demanded a "properly conducted vote" by the 700-member Palestinian National Council to annul portions of its charter that call for Israel's destruction. While the PNC did meet on April 24, 1996, rather than voting on specific changes to the Covenant (as required by the Covenant itself), it merely approved a resolution referring the matter to a legal committee which was to suggest a draft of a revised covenant. world.std.com /~camera/docs/backg/wye.html   (672 words)

The Avalon Project : The Palestinian National Charter Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and reject all proposals aiming at the liquidation of the Palestinian problem, or its internationalization. The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine. www.yale.edu /lawweb/avalon/mideast/plocov.htm   (1606 words)

The Palestinian Charter The PNC has approved with an overwhelming majority the amendment of sub- paragraphs in the Palestinian National charter which are inconsistent with the DOP and the letters exchanged between the government of Israel and the PLO. It was mentioned in the draft summary that the Palestinian National Council decided to amend the Palestinian charter and to cancel all articles that contradict, with the letters exchanged between the PLO and the government of Israel. Therefore the contradictions among the Palestinian national forces are of minimal importance that must be suspended in the interest of the main conflict between Zionism and Colonialism on the one side and the Palestinian Arab people on the other. www.pac-usa.org /the_palestinian_charter.htm   (5217 words)

Public Opinion Palestinian National Authority President Yasser Arafat has promised to call for amending the charter after January elections add some new members to the Palestinian National Council who presumably will follow his recommendation.

Palestinian National Authority The Palestinian National Council (PNC), Parliament in exile of the Palestinian people, is the most important institution of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).
