Hamas leader, Majed Hassan, stressed that the talk about postponing the elections should raise alarm bells at all the electoral lists that ran for the elections, especially the lists that represent the main factions on the Palestinian arena.
“The recent intense media talk about postponing the elections confirms the existence of a premeditated intention to cancel the elections under the pretext of Jerusalem, noting that all this news does not indicate good indications and confirms greatly that there is a deliberate intention to cancel the elections, and the argument is Jerusalem,” leader Hassan said.
He demanded that the candidate factions and lists have a clear and strong position in rejecting any approach to postpone the elections under any circumstances.
Hassan believes that postponing or canceling the elections after the strenuous efforts made in Cairo, in which all Palestinians participated, and agreed to conduct them, would constitute a thunderbolt explosion for the crisis Palestinian situation.
Any postponement or cancellation of the elections will not be in the interest of the Palestinian people and their cause, but rather in the interest of the Israel and its criminal colonial projects in the region.
He said, "There must be a serious and responsible stand by all Palestinians towards this step, and the historical responsibility of the party seeking to cancel it must be held."
He pointed out that this same faction strongly refuses to end the division through a national consensus to solve all the issues that created and resulted in the division, and insisted that elections be the gateway to the solution.
Hassan pointed out that in recent days there has been intense talk about the document of "Fatah" prisoners in prisons, which calls on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to postpone the elections, and to amend the election law to include the election of the president and his deputy, as is the case in the American system.
He referred to statements by the Secretary General of the Fada Party, Saleh Raafat, in which he said that the issue of postponing the elections should be present if it was not held in Jerusalem, along with the statement by Majdalani and the meeting of Azzam Al-Ahmad with the PLO factions to discuss delaying the elections.
