Intelligence Assessment of PLO Plan to Declare Independence

(October 26, 1988)

The report concludes most Arab states will announce their support. although Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have reservations that such a state is workable, or desirable, they cannot afford to appear less than fully supportive of the Palestinian cause.
