The Palestine Liberation Organization denied here today it has signed a joint document with an Israeli peace group recognizing the State of Israel and said it would never countenance the existence of the “Zionist entity.” The statement rebutted the claim made in Tel Aviv by Matityahu Peled.

The PLO statement said: “We can confirm that no Palestinian leader acting on PLO instructions signed such a document. The PLO will not authorize any of its members to act contrary to the objectives of our people’s struggle and the resolutions of the Palestinian National Council.”
