History The PFLP has experienced several splits since its inception:
The fall of the Soviet Union , the surge of Islamist Palestinian movement and Israeli targeted attacks against leaders of the PFLP have lost its influence in this organization.
Ahmad Saadat succeeds Abu Ali Mustafa in 2001 , after his assassination in Ramallah by the Israeli army. The movement through the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades claimed, in October 2001 , the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi. Saadat took refuge in the Muqata with Yasser Arafat , who then refuses to return to Israel.
After negotiations with the United States and the United Kingdom , an agreement was reached between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Saadat was arrested and tried before a military tribunal. He was jailed in the Palestinian prison in Jericho , and the responsibility is the supervision entrusted to the Americans and British.
The Supreme Court declared that Palestinian condemnation, unconstitutional, and ordered his release, but the Palestinian Authority refuses. Beginning in March 2006 , U.S. and British guards decide to leave their posts breaking de facto commitment to London and Washington to provide oversight of the prison in Jericho.
The Palestinian Authority is weakened in the Gaza Strip, foreigners fleeing the country while Hamas always late to build up his cabinet after his victory in Palestinian legislative elections of 2006.
On 14 March 2006 , the Israeli army launches an assault against the Jericho prison. After a day of siege, she received the surrender of Saadat. This attack left two dead and 20 wounded every Palestinian (guards and prisoners) and triggers a series of kidnappings of Westerners in the Gaza Strip.
In the municipal elections of 2005 , the candidate of the PFLP, Janette Khoury was elected mayor of Ramallah in the voices of Hamas against the candidate of Fatah. She is the first woman elected mayor of a major Palestinian city.
The PFLP was involved in Palestinian legislative elections of 2006 under the name "List of Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa. He received 4.2% of the vote and three seats out of 132 in the Palestinian Legislative Council. Its members are Ahmed Saadat, Jamil Majdalawi and Khalida Jarrar. The PFLP has got his best score in Bethlehem (9.4%), Ramallah (6.6%) and Gaza North (6.5%).
On 25 December 2008 , the PFLP General Secretary Ahmad Saadat was sentenced to thirty years imprisonment by a military court in Ofer (Israel). He was captured in January 2002 by the Israelis. Demonstrations took place in Bethlehem to castigate the conviction of a member of Palestinian Legislative Council (parliament) elected in January 2006.
