No. ATFP is an American organization that jealously guards the independence of its decision-making. ATFP shares with the PA and the PLO the quest for two states, but it speaks solely for itself and its Board of Directors. ATFP makes its own assessments based on its mission and analyses. This independence is crucial to ATFP's reputation for integrity in Washington. We have paid a significant cost for upholding this independence. The idea that ATFP functions as an adjunct of the PA or the PLO is as fallacious as the notion that it does so for the State Department or anyone else.
