Elections: Hold or Delay
The article addresses the issue of the Palestinian legislative elections, discussing the possibilities of postponing or proceeding with them, with a focus on the risks associated with each option. It points out that delaying the elections for internal reasons could send a dangerous message about the Palestinians' inability to govern themselves, especially amid the deteriorating internal situation and Israel and Washington's efforts to dismiss the national cause. Despite these risks, the author believes that not holding the elections could be even more damaging, calling for the establishment of international conditions to ensure their success—such as international supervision and Israel's commitment not to obstruct the process—so that the elections become part of a political reform process. The responsibility then shifts to the international community and Israel to bear the consequences if they fail.
