Abbas commits to Palestinian elections
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas pledged to hold the legislative elections scheduled for November 28, the first of their kind to be held in 20 years, as part of reform efforts supported internationally. This step comes amid international pressure, especially from France and the European Union, emphasizing the need to complete the elections to strengthen the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. However, the electoral process faces internal doubts, as Fatah has not yet announced its candidate lists, and Israel is hindering the entry of ballots and electoral materials into the Gaza Strip. Hamas has announced its participation in the elections and is currently conducting consultations with other factions to form a coalition, amid differing views on the possibility of conducting the elections on the ground.
