Israel halts November elections amid Cairo talks
The article discusses the obstacles facing the Palestinian legislative elections scheduled for November 28, 2026. Israel is refusing to allow observers from the Central Election Commission to enter Gaza and Jerusalem to monitor the preparations, threatening the conduct of the vote in the Palestinian territories due to Israeli restrictions. At the same time, internal disagreements are emerging regarding the Palestinian national dialogue arrangements in Cairo, particularly over the participation of factions such as Hamas and the "Reform and Democratic Movement" led by Muhammad Dallal, concerning participation, alliance leadership, and representation. There is growing concern that these obstacles, combined with Israel's ongoing restrictions, will impede the full implementation of the elections, risking the first comprehensive Palestinian elections since 2006. This situation is especially critical given previous delays due to the lack of guaranteed participation from Jerusalem.
