For long periods.


Due to the successive repercussions, Hawatmeh secretly entered Damascus and from there to Tripoli in Lebanon at the head of an armed convoy on foot from Homs, Syria, where he contributed to the 1958 revolution at the head of cadres and members of the Arab Nationalist Movement against Camille Chamoun’s projects to bring American forces and Eisenhower’s project to Lebanon and formed a battle front. Jointly with President Rashid Karami and his party, the Arab Liberation Movement, and with the Baath parties in northern Lebanon. Later, he moved to Baghdad (after the revolution of July 14, 1958, and after the departure of Chamoun and reconciliation between the parties to the armed conflict in Lebanon) within the framework of the nationalist movement, and there he bore full responsibility for the conditions of the nationalist movement.

Hawatmeh is considered one of the most prominent leaders of the emerging left in the modern nationalist movement (in the countries of the Arab Levant), where he led the revolutionary democratic wing in its ranks. In Yemen, he contributed to the battle to liberate it from the British occupation. He contributed to preparing the program for the Fourth Conference of the South Yemeni Authority immediately after independence, and published the book “The Crisis of the Revolution.” In South Yemen,” which proposed a new program for the revolution in the course of the ongoing conflict between the left and the right in power and the National Front Party, which led the liberation war from British colonialism. The book turned into a reference for the National Left in Yemen, which took power after the defeat of the right wing in the National Front and the army. After the defeat of 1967 and the opening of the horizon of the Palestinian revolution in response to the Israeli occupation, and as an alternative response to the defeat of the Arab regimes, he moved to work in the hot arena of conflict and within the framework of the branches of the national movement in Palestine and Jordan. In the August 1968 joint conference of the democratic leftist and traditional rightist movements in the coalition of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (the Palestinian-Jordanian branch of the Arab nationalists), Nayef Hawatmeh presented the political and organizational report and the task and work report, where Hawatmeh succeeded in playing the pivotal role and developing the role and weight of the left wing within the framework of the movement. Nationalism. Upon retreating from the results of the August 1968 conference and using forms of force and violence, Hawatmeh declared the independence of the leftist movement under the name of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine on February 22, 1969.

Since then, the Democratic Front, under the leadership of Hawatmeh, has become a fundamental and major faction within the framework of the PLO coalition and within the framework of the revolution and the Palestinian people. It has played an essential role in formulating the programs and missions of the revolution and the organization and in the life of the Palestinian national struggle and the battles to defend the revolution, the organization and the people in the occupied territories as well as in Jordan. And in Lebanon at different time stages and within the framework of the uprising and mass and popular action against the occupation and settlement.

In September 1970, the Jordanian Authority launched a comprehensive war against the Palestinian resistance, and issued a special statement arresting Hawatmeh, dead or alive, and announced that a large sum of money would be allocated to anyone who would do so. This was the second death sentence at the hands of the Jordanian Authority.

He was the first to present to the PLO its realistic, interim national program in 1973, and he fought, within the framework of the Palestinian people, the organization, and the Democratic Front, the battle for the national program, which became, years after it was presented, the program of the people, the revolution, and the organization in successive sessions of the National Council since June 1974, and he introduced a set of subsequent developments in political thought.

The solution is through negotiations[change | change source]

Hawatmeh was also the first Palestinian leader who clearly called for a solution based on United Nations resolutions, a political settlement, and negotiation with the Israelis in accordance with the resolutions and references of international legitimacy.

He called on them to recognize the right of the Palestinian people to return, self-determination and independence, and called on them with the following phrase: “Come, let us turn swords into machetes.” This is within the framework of a comprehensive and balanced peace that recognizes the right of the Palestinian people to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, self-determination, and a solution to the refugee problem in accordance with UN Resolution 194.

After leaving Beirut in 1982, Hawatmeh played a pivotal role in defending the MT coalition. F. And defending its unity in the face of attempts at dissent and self-destruction between the two wings of Fatah and the nihilistic rejectionist factions that occurred after breaking out of the siege of Beirut. The Democratic Front paid a heavy price for this position under successive pressures from other regional powers.

He continued an active and proactive role in the solutions and programs decided upon in the institutions of the Liberation Organization, especially the decisions of the Palestinian National Council and the Declaration of Independence / November 1988, the decisions of the foundations of the political settlement of the National Council (September 1991), and the projects of a realistic alternative to the Oslo Accords and the step-by-step policy (book - Oslo and the Other Peace).
