| 2021-04-06 | |
The vote, which precedes a presidential election called for July 31, is part of an effort by the dominant Paleostinian movements -- Fatah secularists and Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, Islamists -- to boost international support for Paleostinian governance, AFP reported. Groups had until Wednesday to submit their lists of candidates to contest in the May 22 legislative polls. Individual names on each list are due to be published Tuesday, but the Paleostinian electoral commission announced on its website that it had approved all 36 applications.

It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect.

Fatah is facing challenges from dissident factions including the Freedom list, led by a nephew of the late Paleostinian icon Yasser Arafat, Nasser al-Kidwa. Freedom has been endorsed by Marwan Barghouti, a popular leader whom supporters have described as the Paleostinian Mandela. Barghouti is serving multiple life sentences in Israel for allegedly organizing deadly attacks during the second Paleostinian intifada (uprising) from 2000-2005. Abbas’s former Gaza security chief, Mohammed Dahlan, is also backing a list of challengers.

While Fatah and Hamas have reached an agreement for voting to take place in the West Bank and Gaza, the ability of Paleostinians in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem to vote remains uncertain. Israel bans all Paleostinian political activity in Jerusalem, but Paleostinian leaders insist voting be held in the city’s east, which they claim as the capital of a future Paleostinian state. | |
