Palestinian National Council elections were meant to offer a historic opportunity to rebuild Palestinian legitimacy after years of division, suspended elections, and institutional decay, according to Shehab Wire. The manner in which the process is being conducted, however, has raised concerns about whether the elections can achieve their stated goals.
The elections represent the first attempt to revive the council following a prolonged period marked by political fragmentation and the erosion of Palestinian institutions.
