Abbas revokes election decree, calls for new vote

This decision comes amid security and political challenges, including ongoing Israeli assaults, settlement expansion, restrictions on Palestinian movement, as well as the humanitarian situation in Gaza and difficulties in organizing elections in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza.
