2007-08-21 | |
The deputy speaker of the Palestinian parliament resigned on Monday in protest at internal feuding that has resulted in the legislative body being gridlocked for months. "The brothers [of Hamas and Fatah] cannot get together. I therefore present my resignation to the presidency of the legislative council and I will not change my mind," Hassan Khreisheh told a news conference in Ramallah.

#1 Why would one protest a gridlocked legislative body? In my experience gridlock is the best possible alternative. |
