President Abbas may cancel the election if East Jerusalemites cannot participate, but some see this as an excuse by a leader who wishes to avoid the verdict of voters
Despite the issuance of a presidential decree in January to hold legislative and presidential elections, and the setting of dates for them, talk is heating up that elections may be postponed after all.
Al-Quds newspaper, printed in East Jerusalem, reported that a US source believed President Joe Biden would not object to postponing the elections.
The source told the Palestinian paper that the US “views positively the participation of the Palestinians in the political process,” adding, “We are also aware of the special challenges facing the Palestinians, such as the coronavirus pandemic crisis and a stifling economic crisis, in addition to the complexities of the political scene.”
