The formation of the Rejectionist Front came after the (PNC) session. While affirming the PLO's commitment to Israel 's eventual destruction, the Fatah -sponsored initiative authorized the PLO to "establish {Link without Title} independent combatant national authority for the people over every part of Palestinian territory that is liberated", which was regarded by many Palestinians as a first step towards a two-state proposal. At the same PNC session, the ultimate goal of the PLO was defined as a democratic Binational state, i.e. granting Jew ish and Arab citizens the same rights in Palestine . This prompted several of the most militant Palestinian factions to leave the PLO in protest and form the Rejectionist Front. They were mostly far-left organizations, some of them dominated by Arab states fearing a Palestinan-Israeli rapprochement. The Front was never an operative organization, but rather a statement of position; however, it was loudly backed by Iraq . While the involved factions continued to advocate a hardline policy towards Israel, most of them eventually rejoined the PLO, for example in 1977, when the Steadfastness And Confrontation Front was announced. But tensions remained, and the Rejectionist Front or similar initiatives were revived virtually every time Arafat made a conciliatory gesture towards Israel. The most serious rift was in 1988, when the PLO recognized Israel, and most of the left wing of the PLO again broke out, backed by Syria.
