Polls to Renew Legitimacy
Birzeit University political science professor and former Palestinian minister Ali al-Jarbawi criticized the factions’ dominance over the political system, stressing that they are no substitute for the people and that their understandings do not give them the legitimacy to make decisions on the people’s behalf. He called for free and fair general Palestinian elections as soon as possible, to be held at least once every four years, to renew the legitimacy of institutions, strengthen participation and accountability, and end the division. He warned that the absence of elections had deprived generations of the opportunity to participate, and stressed that reform of the political system must be driven by the will of the Palestinians—not by waiting for external developments.
