Hamas won’t nominate candidate for Palestinian presidential elections |
2021-02-22 |
[IsraelTimes] Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, will not nominate a candidate in the scheduled Paleostinian presidential elections, senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouq tells al-Jazeera. PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... issued a decree ordering the first Paleostinian national elections in 15 years in mid-January. Observers are skeptical that the elections will actually take place, as similar pledges have fallen through before. Indeed. But it’s fun watching them wriggle. The elections — should they come to pass — will happen in three rounds. First, national legislative elections have been set for May 22, a vote for the Paleostinian Authority presidency is set for July 31, and elections for the Paleostinian National Council on August 31.Marzouq’s remarks are likely to come as a relief to aging Paleostinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, who opinion polls indicate would lose in a head-to-head matchup with Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh ![]() Related: Paleostinian presidential election: 2021-01-28 Abbas rival Dahlan banned from running in Palestinian election — Fatah official Paleostinian presidential election: 2020-01-01 Abbas rules out Palestinian election without East Jerusalem Paleostinian presidential election: 2019-11-06 Fatah's Mohammed Dahlan indicates he will run in PA elections |
