The Lebanese crisis escalated in 1969 over the armed Palestinian presence and the freedom to carry out operations from Lebanon. President Charles Helou opposed any infringement of Lebanese sovereignty or the 1949 armistice agreement with Israel, while Yasser Arafat called for launching fedayeen operations and rejected coordination with the Lebanese Army. On May 9, Army Commander Emile Bustani and Arafat reached a draft 15-point agreement, but Helou rejected it. Clashes and tensions continued amid Arab support for the Palestinians and growing internal divisions. After mediation efforts stalled and Rashid Karami declined to head the delegation, Bustani left for Cairo on October 19, 1969, to discuss the crisis with the Palestinian side.
