The statements of Abu Zuhri came after Nabil Abu Amro, media consultant of president Mahmoud Abbas, stated on Thursday that the Central Council will hold a meeting on July 18 in Ramallah to prepare for early elections in the Palestinian territories. Abu Zuhri told the Palestine Newspaper that “It is clear that Abbas is trying to prepare for early elections, but we in Hamas reject this issue since it is illegal and violates the basic law”. He added that the Central Council is a non-legitimate institution that cannot make any decision and that it does not have any authority over the government or the legislative council. Abu Zuhri called on the Council to call of urgent elections in order to form a “central council of the PLO which represents all of the Palestinian people”. He added that this council cannot force its decisions on the Palestinian people. |
