A Palestinian National Conference is in the works to rebuild the PLO, with politicians, academics, and activists gathering in Ramallah to discuss restructuring the organization on democratic foundations. The closed-door meeting involved key figures such as Mustafa Barghouti and Ahmed Ghoneim, who emphasized the importance of forming a unified national leadership that includes all factions to address challenges like Israel’s war on Gaza.
Plans are set for two preparatory meetings in July—one for the northern areas of the West Bank and one for the southern areas—to pave the way for two Palestinian national conferences. Despite obstacles like Israel’s attacks, participants are determined to proceed and push for a national unity government to oversee relief and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
While facing criticism from some PLO committees, the initiative aims to revive PLO institutions and create an inclusive framework for all Palestinians, including resistance factions. This effort underscores the resilience and unity among Palestinians globally in the quest for justice and liberation.
