Palestine VP vows timely elections if conditions improve
Palestinian Vice President Hussein Sheikh announced a pledge to hold presidential and legislative elections simultaneously if the conditions are right to ensure their integrity and transparency. This came after President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree setting September 11, 2027, as the new date for the elections, replacing the previous date in November 2026. Sheikh called on the international community to pressure Israel to create the necessary conditions for holding elections in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, including halting oppressive and terrorist measures, removing checkpoints, and stopping Israeli violations. He reaffirmed the commitment to Palestinian national dialogue and unifying efforts to organize elections across all Palestinian territories, with the electoral commission continuing the registration process. The last legislative elections were held in 2006, amid ongoing division between Fatah and Hamas.
