Palestinian Public Opinion Polls No. 53

Abstract

The Palestinian Government has issued a decree deferring the ‎municipality and local council ‎elections which were supposed to be ‎held in the Palestinian territories in November, 2016. The ‎decree was ‎issued after the ruling made by the Palestinian Supreme Court to the ‎effect that ‎elections are to be conducted only in the West Bank.‎ After the signed agreement between Fateh and Hamas to end the ‎Palestinian split, nothing was ‎carried out of the agreement other than ‎the formation of a Palestinian coalition government; the ‎other items ‎have not been implemented.
