[00:00:00] In the presence of Palestinian camps for the Palestinian people in
[00:00:03] the camps, especially in countries in
[00:00:06] Syria and Lebanon. Syria began
[00:00:08] the
[00:00:11] preparations for that and many electoral groups were formed,
[00:00:14] and also in some other
[00:00:17] countries, the electoral assembly elected Ba'sh. Yes, this
[00:00:21] matter, after the visit of President Abu Mazen to the Arab
[00:00:24] Republic of Egypt and the talk about
[00:00:27] a comprehensive national dialogue at a meeting of the Executive Committee, which took place
[00:00:31] two weeks ago. A decision was made
[00:00:34] to freeze the work of the electoral assemblies or
[00:00:37] the work of the preparatory committee to follow up on the elections of the Palestinian National Council
[00:00:41] to give an opportunity for the Palestinian national dialogue to succeed
[00:00:44] and not to believe that this
[00:00:47] matter can hinder the continued success
[00:00:51] of the comprehensive national dialogue. And you know,
[00:00:54] and many of the Palestinian people followed that there are statements,
[00:00:58] announcements, and declarations that there are exclusions of factions and there is no participation
[00:01:02] and so on. So, for us,
[00:01:05] the field is open for all factions of national
[00:01:07] action to participate in this work and to
[00:01:11] be within the framework of the Palestinian National Council and also
[00:01:15] within the framework of all Palestinian institutions stemming from the Palestine
[00:01:18] Liberation Organization. So a decision was made to freeze that to give
[00:01:22] this opportunity. And as I told you in the meeting the day before yesterday, this
[00:01:25] decision was confirmed to make the Palestinian national dialogue succeed and what the
[00:01:29] dialogue can result in. Okay, so regarding the date of holding the elections of the National
[00:01:32] Council, what is the status of this date now?
[00:01:36] So far, it has not been determined. That means I believe
[00:01:39] that this matter can be agreed upon as happened in
[00:01:43] the determination of the date of the Legislative Council.
[00:01:47] It is no secret that many factions suggested this
[00:01:51] date to give an opportunity and enough time
[00:01:54] for ongoing preparations and also preparations taking place during this
[00:01:58] period before holding the legislative
[00:02:01] elections on 9/11/27. And
[00:02:04] based on that, I believe that there will also be an agreement on the issue
[00:02:08] of the Palestinian National Council, either by agreement as
[00:02:11] is customary in successive national councils or
[00:02:14] by electoral assemblies as was prepared during the past period.
[00:02:18] Okay, for many years of our people's struggle, the goal was for the Palestinian
[00:02:22] decision to be an independent decision, which is what is prevailing
[00:02:25] and what is confirmed. However, there are
[00:02:28] many friends and brothers, whether Arabs or non-Arabs,
[00:02:31] who had advice regarding the dates of holding
[00:02:35] elections. Have you observed any opposition? Have you observed
[00:02:39] any positions on this issue in the Executive Committee? Also,
[00:02:42] the main issue that was discussed
[00:02:46] when the date of the legislative elections was set for November
[00:02:50] 28th was whether there is a possibility of pressuring the occupation
[00:02:54] to give
[00:02:56] hope to the Palestinian people that there will be serious pressure on the occupation to stop its aggression.
[00:03:01] And I'm telling you, it's no secret, the head of the Central Elections
[00:03:04] Commission, Dr. Rami Hamdallah, a long
[00:03:07] time ago, met with the Executive Committee
[00:03:10] of the Palestine Liberation Organization and spoke about
[00:03:13] major obstacles that must be removed for the success
[00:03:17] of the elections. First, regarding the Gaza Strip and the escalating
[00:03:20] aggression of the occupation and its bombing, killing,
[00:03:24] and siege against our Palestinian people. This is the first matter. The second
[00:03:27] matter is that there is, as is known, an authority in the Gaza Strip that must
[00:03:31] be understood regarding who protects the elections, the ballot
[00:03:34] boxes, from many issues related to the elections. And
[00:03:38] this is the matter that must have understandings about. The third
[00:03:41] matter is Jerusalem, where
[00:03:45] the elections that were scheduled to be held in
[00:03:47] 2012 were postponed based on the prevention
[00:03:51] of our Palestinian people from running or voting in occupied East Jerusalem. And
[00:03:54] this matter was a serious issue, the exclusion of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine.
[00:03:58] Based on that,
