Shtayyeh reviews EU support for Palestinian elections
The member of the Central Committee of Fatah, Muhammad Shattah, discussed with the European Union representative in Palestine, Ambassador Andreas Viedler, the EU's support for the democratic process and the upcoming Palestinian elections. Shattah affirmed that Europe considers itself a key ally in the democratization of Palestinian society, calling for a unified European stance that pressures for allowing elections to take place in Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, linking this to their ongoing economic support for the Palestinian political process. He pointed out that there is European backing for the electoral process; however, some questions remain unresolved, particularly regarding the deployment of European and international observers to Gaza, as Israel has yet to respond. Shattah requested clear European support to facilitate the conduct of elections across all Palestinian territories, emphasizing that Israel is obliged to fulfill its international agreements related to elections and the rights of Palestinians in Jerusalem.
