Laraya Warns on Election Delays
The Israeli prohibition on Palestinian election commission members entering Gaza and Jerusalem threatens the holding of the elections scheduled for November 28, 2023. This could potentially lead to their postponement or cancellation. Experts recall that Israel's refusal to conduct elections in Jerusalem in 2021 resulted in their annulment. Observers believe that the Palestinian early announcement of rejection may pressure the international community to compel Israel to allow participation in Jerusalem and Gaza. The announcement is also seen as an attempt to counter Israel’s efforts to separate the West Bank from Gaza and to solidify Jerusalem's status as its capital. Ongoing Israeli measures and legislation aimed at imposing sovereignty over settlements and halting the unity of Palestinian institutions—including recent Knesset decisions—play a role in undermining the possibility of establishing a unified Palestinian state. It is also believed that these measures are part of an Israeli plan to thwart the creation of a connected Palestinian state, while Palestinians and the United Nations are increasing pressure on European countries to support the conduct of the elections.
