Israel circulated here today a copy of the original Arabic text of El Fatah’s political program adopted last May in Damascus which calls for the liquidation of Israel. Noting that Yasir Arafat, head of El Fatah, “the largest single component within the terrorist PLO,” has denied that El Fatah resolutions call for Israel’s liquidation, Israel appended an English translation of the paragraph in the Damascus resolution which states:
“El Fatah is an independent national revolutionary movement, whose aim is to liberate Palestine completely and to liquidate the Zionist entity economically, politically, militarily, culturally and ideologically.”
