Description
The split in the PLO, by Eric Rouleau
Although they have been motivated by contradictory strategie objectives, both Israël and Syria have contributed to weakening, if not largely neutralising, the PLO. Israel aims to exclude Yasser Arafat's organisation from any possible peace negotiations, whilst Syria wishes it to be included, but under its mantle. The Lebanese war in 1982, the mutiny within El Fatah in May 1983 and Syrian reprisals against Fedayeen loyalists have combined to deprive the PLO of its military capacity, at least for the time being. It also suffers from paralysis on the diplomatic front due to Israeli rejection, the American veto and Soviet passivity. All this combined with the connivance of some Arabs to aggravate its internal divisions, add up to the most menacing crisis the PLO has yet had to face. Will the not insignificant trump cards it still holds enable it to survive, and at what cost ?
