Mahmoud Abbas, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority (PA), has issued a decree postponing the PA's presidential and parliamentary elections, originally scheduled for November 28, to September 11, 2027. Abbas stated that the decision was based on a resolution by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee and a general Palestinian consensus.
He attributed the postponement to actions by Israel, which he claims made holding the elections on the original date impossible. Abbas emphasized the need to create conditions for the participation of all Palestinians, including those in Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank. The decree noted the continued presence of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip and the disruption of efforts to establish a temporary administration and peacekeeping forces there, despite a UN Security Council resolution mandating such measures.
According to the decree, Israel also refused to allow election commission representatives and observers into Gaza and Jerusalem.
