It was an organization that has worked as the official representative for the Palestinian people, and is now the leading force of Palestine. PLO is an umbrella organization, made up of a handful of other organizations, that are very different in many fields, but they all share the same goal of an independent Palestinian state. The PLO is made up of three bodies, the Executive Committee, the Central Committee, and the Palestine National Council. PLO has performed both military and political actions. Politically, the organization has been only partly democratic, domination has been by one person for almost all its history his name was Yassir Arafat.
