Israel blocks Palestinian election officials ahead of planned vote

Original: Israel blocks Palestinian election officials from Gaza and Jerusalem ahead of next month’s vote

Israel has prevented Palestinian election officials from travelling to Gaza and Jerusalem less than a month before planned Palestinian elections. The move raises fresh doubts over whether the vote — the first in years — can go ahead as scheduled, since officials need access to those areas to organise polling. The restriction adds to existing tensions over access, logistics and East Jerusalem participation that have complicated preparations for the election.

Why now: It threatens the first Palestinian elections in years weeks before they are due to be held.
