Palestine Popular Liberation Organization
Palestine Popular Liberation Organization was a Palestinian political organization. It was formed in 1964, on the eve of the first session of the Palestinian National Council which was held in May 1964. The headquarters of the PPLO had reportedly been in Jordan.
The PPLO comprised three streams: left-wing Arab Nationalists, former members of the Arab Socialist Baath Party and the Jordanian Communist Party and elements from the Palestinian communities in Jordan and Kuwait. Muhammad Fayyad and Ibrahim Khraysha were the leaders of the group.
According to a declassified CIA report, the PPLO broke off from the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. In May–June 1969, the Palestinian Revolutionary Left League and the PPLO merged into the PDFLP. In February 1970 the PPLO joined the United Fedayeen Command.
