According to their constitution, the speaker of parliament is to temporarily assume the office of president and call for elections within 60 days. (Even Rocco confirmed this to be true.) Abbas lives in the West Bank. The Parliament bldg. is in the West Bank. The speaker of parliament lives in the West Bank.The president calls elections. Abbas left the government in 2007 but will not allow the constitutional president take office.Links?To the outside observer, the legacy if the 2006 Elections a decade later are virtually zero. The Palestinian people are no better off today then they were ten years ago.
Indeed, that was the plan when the US trashed the Palestinian government in 2007.
But they didn't the Palestinian people did that themselves, they voted for a known and proven terrorist organisation to be their leaders. Now they would not vote for them again which is why hamas refuses to hold elections
Your own posts when you stated that hamas was the majority party in the P.A. elections in 2007. They where a known and proven terror group even then. Has an election been called by the ruling party and if not why not ?
At the request of the P.A. which is hamas, they refuse to meet with the rest of the P.A. to call for the president to announce the election so blocking the election of the P.A. All it is in reality is two dictators vying for control of a disjointed nation unable to exercise their free determination.
Why isn't this getting done?
