Fu'ad Nassar (Arabic: فؤاد نصار; 28 November 1914 – 30 September 1976),[1] was a Palestinian communist leader.
He was released by the Nabulsi government in 1956, but he had to leave Jordan soon thereafter as King Hussein stepped up repression against communists.
The acting general secretary inside Jordan, Fatim as-Salifi, was more prone towards seeking reconciliation with the government.
He formed the Ansar Forces, a Palestinian communist militia 1970, under joint command of the Jordanian, Syrian and Iraqi parties.
[7] The Ansar Forces lasted for three years, and in practice received little assistance from the Jordanian Communist Party.
