Leftist factions in Palestine attempting to form a unified front

author Friday May 30, 2008 03:48author by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC News Report this post to the editors

The political bureaus of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Palestinian People Party (PPP) held a meeting in Damascus and agreed to form a unified leftist front which will also welcome other factions.

After the Damascus meetings, the factions held separate meetings this week in order to set the means of implementing the unity agreement.

A PFLP official stated that this agreement came as the outcome of ongoing efforts to form a leftist bloc in Palestine.

The official added that several years ago, the former secretary-general of the PFLP, Abu Ali Mustafa, who was assassinated by Israel, initiated similar efforts and now this agreement is considered a continuation of these efforts.

He also said that a unified left in Palestine will bring about a new balance in the Palestinian arena especially among the current internal crisis between Hamas and Fateh.
