PFLP Press Release     

The collapse of the Sharon Government is a victory for the Intifada and
the Resistance and a defeat for Sharon and his promises.

A West Bank spokesman for the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine has issued the following statement:

"The further deterioration of the Israeli security, economic, and
social crises in the face of the march of the Intifada and the blows of
the resistance, which have led up to the political crisis in the
terrorist Sharon government and his resort to dissolving the Knesset
and setting an early date for parliamentary elections, all this
constitutes a victory for the struggle of our people to defeat Sharon's
promises and the dreams of his government to subdue the esistance and
Intifada, smash the Palestinians national institutions, and wipe out
their inalienable national rights.

"The outbreak of this Zionist political crisis in the shadow of the
emerging international, regional and local conditions in the first
place the Zionist genocidal war against out steadfast Palestinian
people and the aggression that America is plotting against Iraq and
against the people, states, and wealth of our Arab nation sounds the
alarm warning us of the necessity to stop fleeing from the objective
national demands that we reinforce our national steadfastness and unity
in the field, and bring about national unity by way of the path that
the Patriotic and Islamic Forces have agreed upon. 

This is the formation of a united national leadership and
a comprehensive national dialogue inside and outside Palestine, with
the activation and development of the Palestine Liberation Organization
on a democratic basis in accordance with a contemporary election law
that would go beyond the limits set by the Oslo Agreements, and on the
basis of proportional representation.  This will strengthen the unity
of the people and their national and democratic struggle and their
rights to return, self-determination and the establishment of their
completely sovereign state with its capital in Jerusalem."
