- Abstract
In the period after the June war the Palestinian resistance movement established its bases in various parts of Lebanon, particularly in the areas adjacent to Israel and Syria. There occurred violent clashes between the Lebanese Army and the Palestinian militias. The fact that the Lebanese State had ceased to exercise its rightful sovereignty over these sensitive areas, was as intolerable to the Lebanese Army as it was to considerable part of the Lebanese public opinion. As the clashes between the Lebanese Army and the Palestinian militias continued, the radical Arab regimes rose to the support of the Palestinian commando cause, and openly condemned the efforts of the Lebanese Army to liquidate the Palestinian commando movement in Lebanon. Even conservative Arab regimes, under the pressure from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), began -- one after another -- to pronounce themselves in favor of the continued existence of the commando movement in Lebanon. In the end, the regime of Shāril Ḥulw (Charles Helou) was forced to agree and a Lebanese Army delegation, headed by General Imīl Bustānī, proceeded to Cairo where it met with a PLO delegation headed by Yāsir cArafāt in the presence of the Egyptian Ministers of War and of Foreign Affairs, representing President Jamāl cAbdannāṣir. The outcome of the meeting was the so-called Cairo Agreement, which was signed on 3rd November 1969 by Imīl Bustānī and Yāsir cArafāt.
