PLO leaders meeting in Tunisia approved plans to renounce terrorism and proclaim an independent Palestinian state in the Israeli-occupied territories, the Middle East News Agency reported. Egypt’s state-run news agency quoted PLO Executive Committee member Abdullah Hourani as saying that Palestine Liberation Organization leaders ratified a “document of independence and sovereignty of the Palestinian people over their soil” in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, occupied since 1967. The news agency said that the document will be debated at an upcoming session of the PLO’s parliament-in-exile in Algiers.
