Description

Elections are held in the Palestinian Authority to exercise the Palestinians’right to self-determination in relation to their right to establishtheir own state, but they are subject to military occupation. It isrestricted by the Oslo Accords, which means that the authority of thePalestinian National Authority was (and is) limited to matters suchas culture, education, identity cards, and the distribution of land andwater according to Oslo.In light of this talk, no elections have taken place since 2005 for theauthority of President Mahmoud Abbas and 2007 for the Hamas legislativeauthority.Thus, all electoral processes that are the right of Palestinian youthhave been closed since these two dates, and no young man or womanparticipated in this process until our arrival for this year 2020.
