Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser , who helped to broker the deal, was meant to be the guarantor of the Agreement because of his positive relations with both the Lebanese and the Palestinians. His death in September 1970 brought to power Anwar Sadat , who had little or no interest in retaining Nasser's role. Unfortunately, Lebanon's army was ultimately unable to keep a check on the PLO's operations - which had come to include cross-border attacks on Israel from South Lebanon - because of weak governmental structures and the Lebanese Civil War . This led to an Israeli invasion and subsequent occupation in 1982. |
