Abbas Backs Off Elections
Mahmoud Abbas postponed the Palestinian legislative elections scheduled for November 28, and the Palestinian Authority pledged to hold them in September 2027, alongside the presidential elections. Officials cited obstacles they said had been imposed by Israeli authorities, the inability to access Gaza, the Authority’s revenue crisis, escalating settler violence in the West Bank, and a lack of effective US support.
