Abbas declares Nov. 28 for Palestinian legislative elections

LONDON: Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, declared Nov. 28, which falls on a Saturday, as the date for the long-expected Palestinian legislative elections. The vote will take place across the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to the Palestine News Agency. Palestinians will elect members of the Legislative Council for the first time in two decades, since January 2006, when Hamas secured a surprise victory over its rival, Fatah.
