'''PLO's Ten Point Program''' (in [[Arabic]]: برنامج النقاط العشر) (by Israel called the '''PLO's Phased Plan''') is the plan accepted by the [[Palestinian National Council]] (PNC), the legislative body of the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO), at its 12th meeting held in Cairo on 8 June 1974.

The Program called for the establishment of a national authority "over every part of Palestinian territory that is liberated" with the aim of "completing the liberation of all Palestinian territory". The program implied that the liberation of Palestine may be partial (at least, at some stage), and though it emphasized armed struggle, it did not exclude other means. This allowed the PLO to engage in diplomatic channels, and provided validation for future compromises made by the Palestinian leadership.

Because the Program introduced the concept of a [[two-state solution]] in the PLO, it was rejected by the more radical hard-line factions, which vowed to continue to fight to eliminate [[Israel]], and formed the [[Rejectionist Front]], which was strongly backed by [[Iraq]].

== Background ==

Following the failure of the armies of [[Egypt]] and [[Syria]] to defeat Israel in 1973 in the [[Yom Kippur War]], the Palestinian leadership began formulating a strategic alternative.

==Specifics of the Program==

The PLO's Phased Plan did not stipulate clear operational measures and only repeated the principles of the policies which the Palestinian National Council had accepted in the past:

* the denial of [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 242]] (adopted after the [[Six-Day War]])

Line 21 ⟶ 6:

* the establishment of an Arab-Palestinian state in the entire region of Palestine within the pre-1948 borders.

this is maybe a gay website and can be used to edit anything and can be used for the stupid retards

The innovation of PLO's Phased Plan was in the assertion that each step which would lead to the fulfillment of these goals would be a worthy step. It also stated that any territory, from the region of Palestine, which would be transferred to an Arab rule should be transferred to Palestinian control, also if the takeover of other territories would be delayed as a result. Some interpreted these series of decisions, as a realization by the PNC that it can not fulfill all its goals at once, but rather it would be able to do so in gradual small steps, and as a recognition of the council in the possibility of initiating political and diplomatic measures and not just an "[[Palestinian political violence|armed struggle]]" (although PLO's Phased Plan does not consist of a denial of the use of an armed struggle).{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}
