Abstract
AHMAD AL-SHUQAYRI1 FOUNDED THE PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) toward the end of the first Palestinian National Council that was held in East Jerusalem in May1964. Establishing the PLO was the high-point of Shuqayri's political career, and he served as its head until he was forced to resign on December 24, 1967. He was harshly criticized for his management of the Organization and, since January 1965, was blamed for the increased influence in the Arab and Palestinian arena of the fidaiyun organizations (especially Fatah). The military defeat of the Arab armies in the Six-Day War further strengthened the fidaiyun position. 2
