Palestinians face hard choices as ceasefire nears
The PLO and Jordan show limited leverage in the Palestinian war effort. Regular PLA units suffered on fronts but details are scarce. With ceasefire talks starting, the PLO weighs negotiating options and goals, moving from a sole call for a democratic multi religious Palestine toward a more realistic stance, as allies urge broader representation in any peace conference.

Guerrilla Movement Says Palestinians Split Over State
The 18 day war showed Palestinian guerrilla groups were peripheral to the Arab effort and did little against Israel. Fatah leans toward negotiations and a Palestinian state but hesitates to lead publicly. Other factions such as Habash’s Front and Iraqi groups rejected talks while Saiga may be reluctant. Reports on Arafat and leaders returning from Moscow proved premature.
