Khalid ʽAbd al-Majid

Khalid ʽAbd al-Majid (Arabic: خالد عبد المجيد) is a Palestinian politician and militia leader.

Since 1992, he heads a breakaway faction of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF),[1] a minor left-wing group within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

The PPSF split after a 1991 decision by the organization's leader, Samir Ghawshah, to support Yassir Arafat's peace appeals to Israel.

ʽAbd al-Majid led the radical wing of the organization, with Syrian and possibly Libyan support, as it broke away and rebased in Damascus, where he presently lives.

The ʽAbd al-Majid faction of the PPSF has little influence on Palestinian politics, and is believed to have become more or less subordinated to the Syrian government.
