The Khalid ‘Abd al-Majid faction of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front is a Palestinian political faction led by Khalid ‘Abd al-Majid. The group emerged in 1991, as a split from the original Palestinian Popular Struggle Front. ‘Abd al-Majid rejected the decision of the PPSF leader Samir Ghawshah to rejoin the PLO and to accept the Oslo Accords and the formation of the Palestinian National Authority.
The ‘Abd al-Majid faction of PPSF operates in exile in Damascus, Syria, and plays a negligible role in mainstream Palestinian politics, and is often seen as controlled by the Syrian government. The group is outside the PLO, but participates in the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces and the Damascus-based Alliance of Palestinian Forces.
The group launched an armed wing, the Palestinian Popular Jihad Brigades, in the Gaza strip in July 2008. In October 2008, the group declared itself part of an alliance with the Nasser Brigades and the Palestinian Freedom Movement.
It has taken part in the Syrian Civil War on the side of the Syrian government, fighting against the Syrian opposition in the Siege of Eastern Ghouta, the Battle of Yarmouk Camp (2015), the Southern Damascus offensive (April–May 2018), and other battles.
