Imad Mohsen, spokesman for the Democratic Reform Current within Fatah, warned that adopting electoral assemblies to form the Palestinian National Council could deepen the crisis of the Palestinian political system, Shehab Wire reported. The proposal represents a departure from traditional election methods and has drawn criticism from within the ruling faction.
Mohsen's warning reflects ongoing tensions within Fatah over how best to reconstitute the National Council, the Palestinian Authority's legislative body. The Democratic Reform Current has positioned itself as a voice for institutional reform, opposing what it views as measures that could further weaken Palestinian governance structures already strained by years of political division.
