Irrespective of the content and approach, the Sixth General Conference of the Fateh Movement represents a significant negative turn for the national struggle. It anticipates other steps in light of the preceding indications that necessitated the organising of the conference in the settings of time and place. It was inevitable to hold the conference at that time, but not on the former Palestinian president Yasser Arafat's birthday as the current president of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas asserted - which is only a superficial reason. Rather, it was held to preceed the US initiative for a final political settlement to the Palestinian issue. The project was supposed to be referred to by the US president in his speech in the opening session of the present year’s term of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2009. Therefore, the conference was required to meet American-Israeli demands on the eve of the President Barack Obama's speech.
