Fatah: Hamas Won't Agree To Elections Unless Win Guaranteed | |||
2012-07-28 | |||
[Ma'an] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, will not agree to hold general elections unless it can guarantee victory, a Fatah front man said Wednesday.
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... and the Fatah movement believe in democracy and the peaceful transfer of authority through the ballot box, Assaf said, while others preferred bullets to ballots. Paleostinians have the right to vote for their leaders, but elections have been postponed three times due to Hamas' objections, Assaf added. Hamas called off electoral registration in the Gazoo Strip in early July, a day before the process was set to start, citing political partiality concerns and highlighting repression of its members in the West Bank. Assaf said the move demonstrated that Hamas did not support democracy. Abbas' Paleostinian Authority announced on July 10 that it would hold elections on Oct. 20, a decision denounced by Hamas who said the "unilateral step" undermined reconciliation.
