Already in 1968, one of the PFLP's earliest leaders, Ahmed Jibril, broke away to form the "Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command" (PFLP-GC). In 1968, the PFLP joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the main umbrella organization of the Palestinian national movement. The PFLP became the second-largest PLO faction, after Yasser Arafat's own al-Fatah.
In 1969 the marxist-Leninist Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) split off from the PFLP.
