| Palestinian electoral body postpones Jan. polls |
| 2009-11-13 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] The Palestinian electoral commission on Thursday indefinitely postponed general elections called for January because the vote cannot take place in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. "I regret to say it is unfortunate that the elections will be postponed," commission head Hanna Nasser told reporters. "It has become clear to us that conducting elections in the Gaza Strip is not likely to happen," he said. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas received a recommendation to postpone the January vote and will accept the advice, a senior official earlier said. |
