Representatives of Palestinian Arab organizations who met in Cairo on Tuesday announced that they had reached a comprehensive agreement on holding general elections to the Palestinian Authority (PA) parliament in May this year and then for the Palestinian “presidency” and national council.

According to the agreements reached, Egypt will invite the PA’s Central Election Commission and representatives of Palestinian Arab organizations to discuss the elections for the Palestinian National Council, and an election court will be established by order of the Palestinian Authority chairman. The court will include judges from Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
