Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh informed France that the legislative elections scheduled for November 28 will be postponed for several months due to worsening political, security and economic conditions. The decision follows the failure of expected US commitments under Trump's peace initiative, including the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, efforts to prevent further annexation of the West Bank and the release of nearly $7 billion in Palestinian funds withheld by Israel. Palestinian officials say the current conditions will undermine free and inclusive elections. Source: Reuters
