[IMRA:

There are many changes to the document - the changes in the first article,
removes the mask.

Until now the PLO ostensibly accepted 242 etc. The new PLO has a caveat -
"in a way that does not affect the rights of our people"

It should be noted that the document never actually restricted terror
attacks to beyond the Green Line - it only talks of "focusing resistance in
territories occupied in 1967".

This document is in effect a declaration of war on Israel.]

1- The Palestinian people in the homeland and in the Diaspora seek and
struggle to liberate their land [NEW: and remove the settlements and
evacuate the settlers and remove the apartheid and annexation and separation
wall and] to achieve their right to freedom, return and independence and to
exercise their right to self-determination, including the right to establish
their independent state with al-Quds al-Shareef as its capital on all
territories occupied in 1967, and to secure the right of return for refugees
[NEW: to their homes and properties from which they were evicted and to
compensate them] and to liberate all prisoners and detainees without any
discrimination and all of this is based on the historical right of our
people on the land of our forefathers and based on the UN Charter and
international law and legitimacy [NEW: in a way that does not affect the
rights of our people].

In the name of God, the Compassionate and the Merciful, "Abide by the decree
of God and never disperse" (a verse from the Holy Quran)

Based on the high sense of historical national responsibility and in light
of the dangers facing our people and based on the principle saying that
rights don't fall by law of limitations, and on the basis of no recognition
of the legitimacy of occupation and for the sake of reinforcing the internal
Palestinian front and maintain and protect the national unity and the unity
of our people in the homeland and in the Diaspora and in order to confront
the Israeli scheme that aims to impose the Israeli solution and to blow up
the dream and right of our people in establishing their independent state
with full sovereignty; this scheme that the Israeli government intends to
execute in the next phase based on concluding the apartheid wall and the
Judaization of Jerusalem and expansion of the Israeli settlements and the
seizure of the Jordan Valley and the annexation of large areas from the West
Bank and blocking the path in front of our people in exercising their right
in return.

.towards safeguarding the accomplishments of our people throughout this long
struggle and out of loyalty to our martyrs, prisoners and our injured and
given that we are still in the a phase of liberation, this necessitates that
we formulate a political strategy. Therefore, with the goal of making our
comprehensive national dialogue a success, based on the Cairo Declaration
and coupled with the urgent need for unity and solidarity, we put forth this
document (the national conciliation document) to our people, President
Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), the PLO leadership, Prime Minister Ismail Hanieh,
the Council of Ministers, the Speaker and members of the PNC, the Speaker
and members of the PLC, all Palestinian forces and factions, all
nongovernmental and popular organizations and institutions and to the
popular leadership of the Palestinians in the homeland and in the Diaspora.

This document is being put forth as a complete package and the introduction
is part of it:

1- The Palestinian people in the homeland and in the Diaspora seek and
struggle to liberate their land and remove the settlements and evacuate the
settlers and remove the apartheid and annexation and separation wall and to
achieve their right to freedom, return and independence and to exercise
their right to self-determination, including the right to establish their
independent state with al-Quds al-Shareef as its capital on all territories
occupied in 1967, and to secure the right of return for refugees to their
homes and properties from which they were evicted and to compensate them and
to liberate all prisoners and detainees without any discrimination and all
of this is based on the historical right of our people on the land of our
forefathers and based on the UN Charter and international law and legitimacy
in a way that does not affect the rights of our people.

2- To speed up efforts to achieve that which was agreed on in Cairo in March
2005 pertaining to the development and reactivation of the PLO and the
participation of all forces and factions to it according to democratic
principles that reinforce the status of the PLO as the sole legitimate
representative of the Palestinian people wherever they are in a manner that
meets with the changes on the Palestinian arena and in a manner that
consolidates the authority of the PLO to assume its responsibilities in
leading our people in the homeland and the Diaspora. The PLO should also be
the body that mobilizes the people in defending their national, political
and humanitarian rights in the various fora and circles and in the
international and regional arenas. Furthermore, our national interest
stipulates the formation of a new Palestinian National Council before the
end of 2006 in a manner that secures the representation of all Palestinian
national and Islamic forces, factions and parties and all sectors of our
people through elections, where possible, according to proportional
representation, and through agreement where it is not possible to hold
elections according to mechanisms set up by the Higher Committee resulting
from the Cairo Dialogue. The PLO therefore, will remain a broad front and
framework and a comprehensive national coalition and the higher political
reference for all the Palestinians in the homeland and in the Diaspora.

3- The right of the Palestinian people to resist and to uphold the option of
resistance of occupation by various means and focusing resistance in
territories occupied in 1967 in tandem with political action, negotiations

to unify Palestinian political discourse on the basis of the Palestinian
national goals as mentioned in this document and according to Arab
legitimacy and international legitimacy resolutions that grant justice to
the Palestinian people maintaining their rights and constants to be
implemented by the PLO leadership and its institutions, and the PNA
represented in president and government, the national and Islamic factions,
the civil society organizations and public figures. This is aimed at
mobilizing Arab, Islamic and international political, financial, economic
and humanitarian support and solidarity with our people and the PNA and to
gain support for the right of our people to self-determination, freedom,
return and independence; furthermore, it is aimed at confronting Israel's
plan to impose any unilateral solution on our people and to confront the
oppressive siege.

5- To protect and support the PNA since it is the nucleus of the future

of the PNA and the effective laws and for respecting the responsibilities
and authorities of the president elected according to the will of the
Palestinian people through free, honest and democratic elections. It also
calls for respecting the responsibilities and authorities of the government
granted by a vote of confidence from the PLC which came through free and
honest and democratic elections and stress on the importance and need for
creative cooperation between the presidency and the government; there should
be joint action and regular meetings between them to achieve and reinforce
cooperation and integration according to the provisions of the Basic Law and

PNA institutions, especially the judiciary whereby the judiciary authority
should be respected at all levels, its rulings implemented reinforce the
rule of the law.

6- To work on forming a national unity government that secures the
participation of parliamentary blocs and political forces interested in

national economy and encourage investment and fight poverty and unemployment
and provide best possible care for the sectors that carried the burden of
steadfastness, resistance and the Intifada and who were the victims of the
Israeli aggression. In particular, this refers to the families of martyrs,
prisoners and injured and the owners of demolished homes and properties,
destroyed by the occupation, and the unemployed and graduates.

7- Administration of the negotiations falls within the jurisdiction of the
PLO and the President of the PNA, which will be on the basis of adhering to
Palestinian national goals as mentioned in this document on condition that
any agreement must be presented to the new PNC for ratification or a general
referendum to be held in the homeland and the Diaspora through organizing
the referendum.

8- Liberation of the prisoners and detainees is a sacred national duty that
must be assumed by all Palestinian national and Islamic forces and factions,
the PLO and the PNA represented in President and government, the PLC and all
resistance forces.

9- Stressing on the need to double our efforts to support and care for the
refugees and defend their rights and work on holding a popular conference

towards the refugees and to stress on the right of return; the international
community should also be pressured to implement Resolution 194 which
stipulates the right of refugees to return and to be compensated.

10- To work on forming a unified resistance front called the "Palestinian
Resistance Front" to lead and engage in resistance against the occupation
and to unify and coordinate resistance action and work on defining a unified
political reference for the front.

free and honest democratic elections according to the law for the
presidency, the PLC and the local and municipal councils and trade unions
and federations and to respect the principle of a peaceful and smooth
transfer of authority and to stress on the principle of separation of
authorities; the Palestinian democratic experience should be protected and
any democratic choice and its results respected; furthermore, there should
be respect for the rule of the law, public and fundamental freedoms, freedom
of the press and equality among the citizens in rights and duties without
discrimination; the achievements of women should be respected and further
developed and promoted.

12- To reject and denounce the oppressive siege on the Palestinian people
being led by the US and Israel and to call on the Arabs at the popular and
official levels to support the Palestinian people, the PLO and the PNA and
to call on the Arab governments to implement the political, financial,
economic, and media decisions of the Arab summits that support the
Palestinian people and their national cause; to stress that the PNA is
committed to the Arab consensus and to joint Arab action that supports our
just cause and the higher Arab interests.

13- To call on the Palestinian people to strive for unity and solidarity, to
unify their ranks and to support the PLO and PNA represented in president
and government; to endorse the people's steadfastness and resistance in the
face of Israeli aggression and siege and to reject any interference in
internal Palestinian affairs.

14- To denounce all forms of division that could lead to internal strife; to
condemn the use of weapons in settling internal disputes and to ban the use
of weapons among the people; to stress on the sanctity of Palestinian blood
and to adhere to dialogue as the sole means of resolving disagreements.
There should be freedom of expression through the media, which also applies
to any party in opposition to the authority and its decisions in accordance
with the law; adherence to the right to peaceful protest and to organize
marches, demonstrations and sit-ins on condition that they be peaceful and
unarmed and do not attack the property of citizens or public property.

15- The national interest necessitates the need to find the best means of
allowing our people and their political forces in the Gaza Strip to
participate in the battle for freedom, return and independence while bearing
in mind the new situation in Gaza strip as true elevation and power for the
steadfastness of our people and on the base of using the struggle methods of
resisting the occupation while taking into consideration the higher
interests of our people.

16- The need to reform and develop the Palestinian security system in all
its branches in a modern manner that allows them to assume their
responsibilities in defending the homeland and people and in confronting the
aggression and the occupation; their duties also include maintaining
security and public order, enforcing laws, ending the state of security
chaos and lawlessness, ending the public show of arms and parades and
confiscating any weapons that harm the resistance and distort its image or
those that threaten the unity of Palestinian society; there is also a need
to coordinate and organize the relationship between the security forces and
the resistance and organize and protect their weapons.

17- To call on the PLC to continue issuing laws that regulate the work of
the security apparatus in its various branches and to work towards issuing a
law that bans the exercise of political and partisan action by members of
the security services whereby they are required to abide by the elected
political reference as defined by law.

18- To work on expanding the role and presence of international solidarity
committees and peace-loving groups that support our people in their just
struggle against the occupation, settlements and the apartheid wall both
politically and locally; to work towards the implementation of the
International Court of Justice ruling at The Hague pertaining to the
dismantlement of the wall and settlements and their illegitimate presence.
