Palestinian official urges Israelis to ‘think about peace’ in upcoming elections

Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior Fatah and Palestinian Liberation Organization official, tells The Times of Israel that “we hope the Israeli voters will think about peace when they go to the polls” after early elections are called for April 9.

“We realize they have other concerns, but we hope they will think about peace and coexistence when they vote,” he says.

“We also hope the Israeli politicians will not take advantage of the elections to carry out an escalation against the Palestinian people.”
