Abbas: Palestinians soon to dissolve PA parliament after not meeting for a decade
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has said the Palestinians will soon dissolve the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), the PA parliament.
Abbas made the remark Saturday evening at a conference at the PA presidential headquarters in Ramallah.
“In a legal manner, we will dissolve the [Palestinian] Legislative Council and this will occur soon,” Abbas said, two people who attended the event told The Times of Israel.
Since the latter half of 2007, the PLC has not convened, essentially becoming defunct. Hamas ousted the Fatah-dominated PA in 2007 from the Gaza Strip.
