No legitimacy in delaying elections
The Palestinian National Committee for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Rule of Law, "Independence," affirms that delaying the legislative elections scheduled for November 28, 2026, is unconstitutional. It clarifies that the Palestinian Basic Law grants the President the authority to call for elections through a presidential decree, and does not permit their cancellation or postponement unilaterally. The committee emphasizes that any decree to postpone elections constitutes a legal flaw and a conflict of interests, especially if based on recommendations from political factions, as it endangers candidates' rights and violates the principle of legal certainty. The committee urges the Palestinian presidency to adhere to the law and to oppose any political pressures aimed at obstructing the electoral process. It also calls on institutions and civil society to legally challenge any measures that hinder the people's right to vote.
