Palestinian Leadership Mulls Canceling the Elections
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Executive Committee of the Paleostinian Liberation Organization (PLO) confirmed during its meeting that elections could not be held without Jerusalem, according to a committee member, Ahmed Majdalani.Majdalani confirmed that holding the elections was a Paleostinian decision that had no regional or international ties, as the gateway to ending the division and renewing the structure of the Paleostinian political system. "Ignoring the official Paleostinian request is a clear response that the Israeli government doesn’t want to allow the Paleostinian elections in East Jerusalem," said Majdalani, indicating that it is an explicit response that elections cannot be held. Majdalani’s statement confirms the final position of the Paleostinian leadership, meaning the elections due on May 22 will most likely not take place, given that Israel does not allow any Paleostinian "sovereign" activity in Jerusalem.
