Palestinians to hold elections in West Bank only
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority says that municipal elections scheduled for May 13 will be held only in the West Bank and not in the Gaza Strip.
This will be the second time in a row that Palestinian local elections are held solely in the West Bank, after the Hamas terror group, which rules the Gaza Strip, boycotted municipal elections in 2012.
Municipal elections had been slated to be held in the West Bank and Gaza last October, but were postponed after a court decision last year, with Fatah and Hamas trading blame over the delay.
