I've Been Thinking:
The Palestinian Authority has announced that they will have elections on July 9th. The last elections the PA held were in 2006.
The Palestinian parliament that now sits was supposed to dissolve in January 2010 - over a year ago.
The Palestinian president was elected in 2005 - and his term was up 2009. There were supposed to have been elections for that position also.
The Palestinian prime minister was not elected, he was appointed by Palestinian President Abbas.
The parliament, the president and the prime minister serve outside the constitution.
Hamas has declared that the PA has no right to announce new elections. They say it must be a joint decision.
Hamas wants to boycott the elections.
