RAMALLAH, February 26, 2017 (WAFA) – Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said on
Sunday that in case Hamas rejects to allow the government to hold the
municipal elections on time, the government will decide to hold the
elections in the West Bank alone and will postpone the elections in the Gaza
Strip.

Hamdallah, during a ceremony in Nablus in which the government launched a
convoy of medical drugs to the besieged Gaza Strip, told reporters that upon
consultations with President Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas was given a period of
seven days to declare its position regarding holding the elections in Gaza.

He said the government and upon Hamas’s response will finally decide on
whether to include Gaza in the elections during the upcoming meeting of the
Council of Ministers.
