Palestinian President Postpones Legislative Elections to September 2027 Mahmoud Abbas issues a decree to hold simultaneous presidential and legislative elections on September 11, 2027 The decree cancels the previous date for the legislative elections, set for November 28, 2026, according to the Wafa news agency. The decision came after national consultations regarding the obstacles imposed by Israeli measures on holding the elections on their previous date. The continued Israeli attacks, settlement expansion, settler terrorism, and incursions in the occupied West Bank, and the exceptional security and humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, are among the most prominent obstacles to holding the elections.
New York Times: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas had set November 28 as the date for legislative elections, following pressure from Western allies, including France and Canada, to implement reforms. However, critics believed from the outset that Abbas, 90, would not actually hold elections that could threaten his grip on power. On Saturday, Abbas issued a formal decree postponing the scheduled elections to September 11, 2027. For the first time in years, Abbas also announced that presidential elections would be held on the same date. Abbas's office attributed the postponement to Israeli restrictions, as well as the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip. Opinion polls regularly show that a large majority of Palestinians are calling for Mahmoud Abbas's resignation. #AlMayadeen
