PLO calls for election
Reuters has reported that the PLO has called for elections this September. This news comes after Saeb Erekat has resigned his post as the chief negotiator for the Palestine Liberation Organisation, following the leak of cables in the Palestine papers last month.
Haaretz reported:
'Erekat told The Associated Press that an investigation determined that internal documents obtained by Al-Jazeera were leaked by someone from his office. "If there was any security failure in my office, then I am responsible. For that, I have resigned," he said.'
Note his reasoning here, the leak of the papers as opposed to the content of said cables. (?)
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum has denounced the 'legitimacy' of the call for elections by Mahmoud Abbas PA leader. They have also announced that they will not participate in the coming elections.

Imagine If London Was Occupied by Israel [HQ].mp4
As is written in One Country by Ali Abunimah, co-founder of the Electronic Intifada, the freedom of movement of the Palestinians is "restricted by walls, fences, and army checkpoints that turn the simplest excursion into an arduous expedition.."

Ultra-zionists by Louis Theroux. I won't lie, it's pretty frustrating. And that is an understatement. As a friend of mine said, 'it only starts with a table.'
