If the agreed timetable for Palestinian reconciliation is adhered to, we are promised to witness the reemergence of the Palestine Liberation Organisation as the embodiment of the aspirations of Palestinians.
The new PLO, in which Hamas and other Islamic movements are to participate as well, will no doubt help revive the Palestinian national movement, especially in the diaspora.
Ever since the creation of the Palestinian Authority, in the aftermath of the Oslo Accords, the role of the PLO has been diminishing.
It is unclear if the diminishing of the role of the PLO was intentional, but the reality is that Palestinians in the diaspora have been feeling the absence of a robust movement that is focused on galvanising the world for the Palestinian cause.
