Abu Mazen Likely to Postpone Elections
The Palestinian leadership, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, is moving toward issuing a potential presidential decree to postpone the legislative elections scheduled for November 28. This comes amidst growing doubts about their conduct on time due to Israeli obstacles preventing election committees from entering Gaza and Jerusalem. Political efforts continue in Cairo between Fatah, Hamas, and other Palestinian factions in an attempt to reach an agreement before the candidacy registration deadline on October 13. Sources indicate that the PLO’s Executive Committee will consider a recommendation to delay the elections during its Saturday meeting, reflecting the difficulties in ensuring successful voting across all Palestinian territories.
