To clear up matters as to who arms the Palestine Security Service, the armed forces of the PLO, some background is in order:

On the morning of Sept. 15, 1993, two days after the pact between Israel and the PLO was signed on the White House lawn, as witnessed by the US and Russia, one the eve of the Jewish New Year, I arrived at my office. then located one floor below the Israel Government Press office.

Much to my surprise, I met the head of the Israel Government Press Office in the stair well, who was personally distributing a memo to all of the media, which stated that from hereon in, the Israel Defense Forces would supply the PLO with weapons and munitions .

Since that time, our news and research agency has provided intense news coverage to the subject of the supply of weapons and munitions to the PLO armed services, , with the approval of successive governments of Israel.

Full disclosure; Received a grant from the MEF to cover this subject.

Our reports on the matter were published in Defense News, Jerusalem Post and the Makor Rishon. This is our file on the subject:
