Future aspirations

An imginative plot that tries to assume the P.L.O leadership next move.

 

About an hour before noon, the government members plus the party's leadership convened in the Moukta'a's (the government building) auditorium in the city of Ramallah, to discuss future ways of action, following the president's last appearance in the U.N. and its fruitful achievement.

The first short wave of euphoria passed away, after the crowds' welcome party in honor of the successful president; that has endowed them with so much honor and so many hopes; which regretfully evaporated in twenty four hours. On the next morning everyone realized what their leadership knew very well beforehand that nothing has changed, and nothing would change in the near future, unless some drastic moves would take place.

The president had no intentions to resume negotiations with the hated party, that's why he turned a second time to the United Nations.

If my first and second appearances before the U.N. members were a breach of the 1993 agreement who cares, most of the U.N. members are on our side, he thought encouraging himself; as he stood up at the head of the long desk, facing his associates in the government and the party's leadership.

He coughed several times to draw his associates' attention, to remind them who is in charge, and whom they have to obey. In a two hours speech he told his associates about his sacred mission, how encouraged he is thanks to the support of most of the U.N. members. In another quarter of an hour he told his audience that this first successful step would lead nowhere, unless further drastic steps would be taken; and that's why he asked them to convene and express their thoughts and beliefs on that perplexing issue.

The first personality to answer the president's challenge was the moderate PM. He reminded everyone present in the auditorium the economic difficulties, with which their independent state that was not established yet is facing. We must resume the negotiations with the hated party…

The mention of negotiations brought up an uproar, some members stood up and with angry shouts cut off the PM speech. An uncontrollable tumult ensued and fragments of sentences like "no negotiations", "Intifada (uprising)", "death to the Zionists" echoed in the auditorium.

The president hastened to rise from his comfortable seat and raised both his hands and waving them frantically ordered everyone to sit down and keep quiet.

'We won't resume the negotiations and there won't be any future negotiations with whatever government of the Zionists.' He declared loud and clear vehemently. 'As for the economic difficulties the Emir of Qatar His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani visit in Ramallah, will solve our economic problems inshallah' (with God's will). He made a short pause, raised a glass of mineral water to his lips for a quick gulp, put the empty glass back on the desk and went straight on with his speech.

'We promised at the U.N. no violence, no third Intifada (uprising), but we shall defeat them! How, I'll tell you how. We are in contact with the Syrian rebels' leadership committee. As soon as they'll oust Bashar Al Asad and his Alawi followers, they'll topple the king of Jordan and send his Bedouins back to Saudi Aarabia….'

Clapping and merry applause stopped the president's speech. 'Yes there in the ex kingdom of Jordan we shall establish our independent state on both banks of the Jordan River, up to to the sea. It will take time of course, but there after getting rid of the Bedouins we shall arm ourselves as much as we need, and no one would be able to stop us.'
