Hamas Ready for Elections
Hassan Badran, a member of Hamas's Political Bureau, confirmed that the movement will participate in the upcoming Palestinian elections within the broadest possible national coalition. He stated that they have begun mobilizing their electoral and political machinery to prepare for this. He explained that Hamas aims to form a wide electoral bloc encompassing a diverse political spectrum, with the goal of reaching a legislative council that represents a national base committed to partnership in Palestinian decision-making and resistance against the occupation. Badran criticized the lack of national consensus regarding the timing and mechanisms of the elections, considering that the call for elections came late and was conducted without consensus. However, he viewed it as an opportunity to reorganize the Palestinian house and end the prevailing unilateral decision-making. He emphasized that Hamas will not retreat from political work and affirms the Palestinian people's right to choose their leaders. The movement is also working on establishing internal and media committees to ensure the success of the electoral process and to encourage Palestinians to register and participate. Additionally, he called for comprehensive national dialogue to ensure agreement on the electoral procedures. Hamas strongly rejected any attempts to exclude it or engineer the political system away from the will of the Palestinians, reaffirming that the right of the people to elect their leaders is an inalienable right.
