GAZA, (PIC)– The popular front for the liberation of Palestine and the Sa’ika organization on Monday called for rebuilding the PLO on the basis of the Cairo agreement in 2005 and the document of national reconciliation in 2006. In a statement received by the PIC, Abdelrahim Mallouh, the deputy secretary-general of the popular front, called on all Palestinian factions to work together and initiate directly comprehensive dialog in order to end the Palestinian differences and rebuild the PLO. For its part, the Sa’ika organization said that it always stresses the need for electing a new national council, electing a national authority to rehabilitate the PLO and its institutions, and involving all factions without exception in the PLO. Sa’ika also highlighted the need to separate the position of the Palestinian authority from the presidency of the PLO because the PA’s work is concentrated in civil affairs, adding that it does not want a national council which had voted to cancel the national charter of the PLO in Gaza in the presence of former US president Bill Clinton. Sa’ika also said that it wants a strong PLO representing the Palestinian people at home and abroad as well as Palestinian leadership believing in the armed struggle and resistance, not a PLO headed by a yielding PA chief and weak leadership Khaled Mashaal, the head of the Hamas political bureau, had said during a ceremony held last week in Doha that the PLO in its current situation does not represent all Palestinians and called for building a new national authority of all national forces and trends representing all Palestinians at home and abroad.
