Palestinian groups oppose autonomy in Council formation

Palestinian factions faced widespread criticism for rejecting "deviation from consensus and appointments" in the formation of the Palestinian National Council, considering the mechanism adopted under the auspices of President Mahmoud Abbas to be a "covert appointment" that does not reflect genuine popular participation. The opposition affirmed that this approach entrenches repression and prevents true representation of Palestinian factions, calling for the involvement of all factions in a democratic manner. Reports also indicated an escalation by the Israeli occupation forces in their assault on Gaza and the West Bank, targeting homes and agricultural areas, with airstrikes causing injuries and casualties among Palestinians. This coincided with calls to stop Israeli attacks on Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, as occupation authorities turned homes into military barracks and imposed restrictions on Palestinians, all amid a general escalation of the situation on the ground.
