ORGANIZATION OF ARAB PALESTINE

Palestinian movement founded in 1968 following a split in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine–General Command (itself the result of an earlier split with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) under the impetus of Ahmad Zaʿrur. Zaʿrur was a Nasserist and his organization was supported, at least until Gamal Abdal Nasser's death, by Egypt. In 1971 the organization was incorporated into the Palestine Liberation Organization.
