1964 CE

The Arab summit meetings also take up other matters.

League members agree to created a unified military command, the United Arab Command, with headquarters in Cairo, but this plan, like that of diverting the Jordan River, remains on paper.

The Arab leaders do implement a plan to create the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to be the primary organization of Palestinians.

The Arab governments, especially Egypt, are becoming increasingly uneasy about the growing activities of Palestinian guerrillas, and they want to create an organization through which they can control such operations

They create the Palestine Liberation Army, whose units will be stationed and controlled by Egypt, Syria, and Iraq.

Egypt will exercise control of the PLO until 1969 when Yasser Arafat, the leader of the guerrilla organization called Al Fatah, will take control of the organization from Ahmad Shukairy, the choice of the Arab League governments.
