Islamic and leftist Palestinian groups opposed to Yasser Arafat's self-rule accords with Israel joined his supporters Thursday in a ``national dialogue'' conference headed by Arafat to plan strategy for negotiations with the Israelis on a final peace settlement.

Although the accords with Israel were endorsed by Arafat's mainstream Fatah faction in the PLO, they were bitterly denounced by both Islamic and leftist Palestinian groups as a sellout of Palestinian aspirations.

Although opposition representatives insisted Thursday that their participation did not mean endorsement of the accords with Israel, their presence in the discussions, presided over by Arafat, served as an important affirmation of his leadership.

Earlier this week, the Popular Front and Democratic Front announced their withdrawal from a Damascus-based coalition of 10 militant Palestinian groups opposed to the accords with Israel.
