Al-Awarī La Raya: Election Delay Reveals Flaws
Issam Raruori, the Secretary-General of the Independent Commission for Human Rights, criticized the decision to postpone the Palestinian legislative and presidential elections. He emphasized that the motives and justifications stated in the presidential decree were not urgent; they existed prior to the postponement decision. He pointed out that the way the decision was made reveals a significant flaw in the Palestinian governance mechanism, as the election date was set without sufficient national dialogue, seemingly in response to international pressure without a thorough assessment of the on-the-ground political and security reality. He clarified that postponement deepens divisions among political factions and widens the gap between the ruling system and public opinion, especially amidst harsh living and economic conditions, as the Palestinian people face ongoing settler attacks and plans for displacement. Raruori also addressed the Israeli occupation's stance, which refuses to recognize a Palestinian entity and blocks steps toward establishing a state. He added that the occupation pretends not to interfere and places the blame solely on the Palestinian Authority for the postponement, with expectations that the political and field situation will worsen in the future, particularly since the conditions in 2021 were much better than today.
