Urgent: Hamas spokesman, Hazem Kassem:

- The leadership of the Palestinian Authority continues to manipulate the election process, trying to adapt it to the Fatah movement, and to handle it with sectarian logic and not as a national entitlement.

- For more than 20 years, the PA's leadership followed the policy of tampering with electoral rights, which prevented elections from being held, which caused the legitimacy of all Palestinian institutions to erode.
