Erekat demands British intervention in Palestinian elections in East Jerusalem

Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Saeb Erekat, urged the Consul General of the united Kingdom, Philip Hall, to intervene in the Palestinian elections in occupied Jerusalem.

Erekat called on Hall to intervene to make pressure on the Israeli government to implement the arrangements for holding presidential and legislative elections in East Jerusalem, including voting, nomination and election campaigns under international monitoring and supervision.

During a meeting with the British ambassador, Erekat stated that the general elections in Palestine (East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip) are an entitlement, and that returning to the will of the people and the ballot boxes is a higher national interest and the shortest way to remove the causes of division and reach a full national partnership.
