Abstract
Since 1964 the Fedayeen organizations have become a major factor
in the politics of the Middle East. These groups have not only been the
source of disagreements and discussions between Israel, the Arab states,
other nations, and the United Nations but also they have been the source
of conflict within the separate states. The purpose of this thesis is to
give some proposals or conditions by which the United States may recognize
the Palestine Liberation Organization as a separate entity. In order
to provide valid proposals, the emphasis of the study will be on the PLO,
the Fedayeen, their organization and positions, and the United States'
positions on this subject. Concerning the latter, the position of Israel is
included because of the historical ties between the two nations. The
thesis is divided into four major areas: the rise of the Fedayeen and its
current place in international politics; the organization of the PLO and
Fedayeen's major groups; the United States' position; and proposals.
