Les échecs persistants de l'Autorité palestinienne

Évaluation

Mahmoud Abbas has again postponed Palestinian legislative elections, now until 2027, after canceling them entirely just weeks before the scheduled vote. His own presidential mandate expired in 2009, yet he claims his reelection will coincide with the new date. This is not a scheduling glitch. It is a pattern of indefinite self-extension that leaves Palestinians without any democratic process, while Western governments express shock but take no apparent action. The gap between stated concern and actual leverage over Abbas is the real story.
