Correct Answer:
A. 1958
Yasir Arafat, along with Khalil al-Wazir (Abu Jihad) and other Palestinian exiles, founded Al-Fatah (Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini, meaning 'Palestinian National Liberation Movement') in Kuwait in 1958. Fatah emerged as a leading Palestinian nationalist movement dedicated to the liberation of Palestine through armed struggle against Israel. It later became the dominant faction within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
- The years 1960, 1962, and 1964 are incorrect. While Fatah gained significant international recognition and began its armed operations in the early 1960s, its foundational year as an organization was 1958.
