The National Committee for Palestinian Popular Action denounced a presidential decree appointing members to the Palestinian National Council from inside and outside the territories, Shehab Wire reported. The organization said the decision represents a flagrant violation of the will of millions of Palestinians and a seizure of their right to vote.
The committee's statement framed the appointment process as a circumvention of electoral principles. The group positioned the decree as contrary to democratic standards that Palestinians have sought to establish. The rejection comes as Palestinian leadership continues to navigate competing visions for governance and representation across the diaspora and occupied territories.
