Palestinian National Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the signing of the Oslo Accords, the PNC met in Gaza in April 1996 and voted 504 to 54 to void parts of the Palestinian National Covenant that denied Israel's right to exist, but the charter itself was not been formally changed or re-drafted. As of 2003, the PNC is chaired by Salim Zanoun and has 669 members; 88 are from the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), 98 represent the Palestinian population living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and 483 represent the Palestinian diaspora.

Israel Resource Review 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, justice-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. Proponents of the second approach felt it was necessary to fulfill the Palestinian commitment to amend the Covenant without conditioning it on Israeli fulfillment of its obligations, and therefore favored immediate amendment. israelvisit.co.il /BehindTheNews/Apr-21.htm   (5415 words)

WorldNetDaily: Still calling for Israel's destruction Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's foreign minister has acknowledged that the PLO National Covenant, with its many clauses calling for violence and the destruction of Israel, has never been changed, reports Dubai newspaper Al Bayan. On Dec. 14, 1998, Arafat and President Bill Clinton presided over a meeting in Gaza of Palestinian Arab notables – although it was not a meeting of the PNC – at which the audience raised their hands to signal approval of a statement by Arafat claiming that the Covenant had already been changed in 1996." The 1993 Oslo accords required Arafat to remove those clauses from the National Covenant. www.worldnetdaily.com /news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=29242   (475 words)

Covenant Deadline Unmet (Jerusalem Post Editorial) - November, 1996 Indeed, the repeal of the Covenant was the main thing Arafat promised Israel in exchange for diplomatic recognition and the opening of negotiations aimed at transferring control of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza to the PLO. The promise to amend the Covenant was first made as part of thefamous exchange of letters between PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in September 1993. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu correctly made the Covenant a central issue of his campaign, promising that his government would not continue giving land and power to the PA unless this document were finally amended. www.freeman.org /m_online/nov96/jpost.htm   (901 words)

Special Report Thanks to the PNC vote, the Palestinian representatives now are fully empowered to negotiate a settlement to their half-century-old dispute. For those who saw the entire Oslo process as a trap to scuttle the cause of Palestinian independence and blame the Palestinians themselves for its failure, there was much initial evidence to vindicate their suspicions. Still on the same day the Palestinians adopted their resolution, a committee from Peres’ Labor party completed drafting the platform upon which the Labor party intends to run in the May 29 election. www.wrmea.com /backissues/0596/9605040.htm   (977 words)

Wye and the Palestinian Covenant: New Demands from Israel? Media reports on implementation of the Wye River Memorandum have incorrectly characterized as a "new demand" Israel's position that the Palestinian Covenant must be revised by a full meeting of the Palestinian National Council. And these agreements are quite clear on the question of revising the Palestinian National Covenant; in particular, Oslo 2 states: 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. www.christianactionforisrael.org /isreport/wyedemand.html   (725 words)

The Palestine National Covenant The Palestine National Covenant, passed by the Palestine National Council, July 1968, blatantly displays the imperialist-fascist nature of the Palestinian-Arab movement. The covenant defines Palestinians as "Arab nationals who normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. At the same time, the covenant refers to Palestinians as "an integral part of the Arab nation." This is the basis by which Arab nations have kept their fellow Arabs in refugee camps, which are actually internment or even concentration camps. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/739059/posts   (556 words)

Peace Watch revealed Wednesday an internal publication issued by Yasir Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO, entitled "The Palestinian National Covenant Between Renewal and Being Frozen," and was intended for the party's internal cadres.

"MEIN KAMPF" AND THE "PALESTINIAN NATIONAL COVENANT" The world today knows of the "Palestinian National Covenant" (and that it has not been cancelled or amended as to its anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist essence). If one compares the spirit of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" (written in 1923) with the spirit of the "Palestinian National Covenant" (of 1964) one can only conclude that the same spirit, thoughts and attitudes prevail in both....the only differences being time and place. Nasser of Egypt formed the PLO in 1964 in Egypt and Jordan....before the world was brainwashed with the "Palestinian People" myth...before Arafat appeared on the world scene. www.cdn-friends-icej.ca /antiholo/meincov.html   (818 words)

ADL Backgrounder - The Palestinian Commitment to Revise the Palestinian Covenant 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. 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. 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   (121 words)

Commentary on Claimed Change to Palestinian Charter 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. 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 Washington visits clearly illustrates just what kind of "tough decisions" Clinton's team had in mind for Arafat: the decision to hand over yet another letter about the Palestinian Covenant and an agreement to a photo opportunity at Washington's Holocaust Museum. www.gamla.org.il /english/article/1998/jan/ler13.htm   (699 words)

Rabah, PALESTINIAN REFUGEES AND DISPLACED & THE FINAL STATUS NEGOTIATIONS The cancellation of the "National Palestinian Covenant" and the assignation of the national committee's law commission to reconstitute the covenant so that it conforms with the Oslo Agreements and the letters exchanged between Arafat and Rabin on 9 and 10 September 1993 enforce a one sided Palestinian recognition of Israel's right to exist. The Palestinians example in Syria asserts that guarateeing civil and social rights maintains the national identity, protects it from the dangers of resettlement and cuts the road in front of the trend for discarding this identity, to avoid melting into the existing surroundings. The main pretext in denying the Palestinian People their civil and social rights is the reality of resettlement which leads to exercising these rights, hereby complete or partial ratification precedes the results of the negotiations with Israel, further more, it propels it to adhere to resettlement plans. www.arts.mcgill.ca /MEPP/PRRN/papers/rabah.html   (699 words)

Palestine-Related Documents "This covenant will be called The Palestinian National Covenant (al- mithaq al-watani al-filastini).
