Amendments

In a letter to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat stated that 
those articles which denied Israel's right to exist or are inconsistent 
with the PLO's new commitments to Israel following their mutual 
reognition, were no longer valid (see  Oslo peace process).

The PNC met in a special session on 26 April 1996 to consider the issue of
amending the Charter and adopted the following decision:

   A. The Palestinian National Charter is hereby amended by canceling the 
   articles that are contrary to the letters exchanged the P.L.O. and the 
   Government of Israel 9-10 September 1993.

   B. Assigns its legal committee with the task of redrafting the 
   Palestinian National Charter in order to present it to the first 
   session of the Palestinian Central Council.

The decision was adopted by a vote of: 504 in favor, 54 against, and 14 
abstentions.

On January 1998, Yasser Arafat sent a letter to US President, Bill 
Clinton, outlining the implications of this decision in terms of the 
specific articles of the Charter that were nullified or amended as a 
result of that decision. In December 1998, both the PLO Executive 
Committee and the PLO Central Council reaffirmed this decision
