Government neglect and insufficient due diligence in legislative texts
The article discusses the general election law and the impact of proposed amendments on the Palestinian political system. It emphasizes the intersection between branches of government and the necessity of adhering to the constitution when issuing laws and decrees. It clarifies that the Basic Law defines the role of the Council of Ministers in drafting and approving legislation, and that presidential decrees issued without the endorsement of the Council raise constitutional issues, especially in the context of electoral matters. The article also highlights the constitutional instability caused by the frequent issuance of decrees without serious consultations with political forces and civil society, which affects the reputation and image of the Palestinian authorities and increases societal tension. The report notes that 22% of the legal decisions issued between 2020 and 2024 have sparked widespread debate and led to the annulment or modification of several laws. This reflects a weak commitment to constitutional texts and a lack of coordination among the branches of government in the legislative process, posing a threat to the stability of the Palestinian legislative system.
