Marwan al-Muasher, a prominent Jordanian diplomat and former foreign minister and deputy prime minister, said the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah does not want to hold Palestinian elections, fearing the results and punishment from Palestinian society, Shehab Wire reported.
Al-Muasher's remarks reflect broader concerns about the Authority's reluctance to submit to popular vote amid widespread Palestinian discontent over its governance and handling of key issues.
