Khaled Hassan agreed this was certainly not without purpose."

"At that time it was ripely planned to declare the establishment of a Palestinian state even though the homeland was still occupied by the Israeli side. The Palestinian state declaration was planned to be announced in November as well. Finally, the Palestinian state declaration was announced in Aljier, around mid-November 1988. On that occasion Arafat also stated that he acknowledged the existence of an Israeli state," wrote Dja'far Bushiri in his article in Tempo Magazine entitled Peace Appeal from Kafiyeh Arafat (1993).
