Abbas Announces November 28th as Palestinian Legislative Election Date
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has set a date for legislative elections in Palestine on November 28th of next year. This is the first time elections will be held since 2006, when Hamas won. The decision emphasizes the participation of Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, with an increase in the number of deputies to 200 and a reduction in the candidacy age to 23 years, along with efforts to strengthen women's representation. These elections are seen as part of the reform efforts demanded by the international community. Meanwhile, Hamas rejected the recent decisions, viewing them as a attempt to reaffirm internal control. A date has also been set for presidential elections to be held in the first quarter of next year.
