Steadfastness and Confrontation Front

The Steadfastness and Confrontation Front (Arabic: جبهة الصمود والتصدي) was a political initiative of 4 December 1977 by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the governments of Libya, Algeria, Syria and South Yemen following the visit by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Israel on 19 November 1977, which was widely seen in the Arab world as an abandonment of the previously-agreed principle of withholding recognition of Israel and as breaking the Arab alliance against Israel.

Not to be confused with the Rejectionist Front.
