Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas waves as he arrives for the opening the Fatah youth conference in Ramallah on November 27, 2025. (Jaafar ASHTIYEH / AFP) Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas says elections will be held on November 1 for the Palestinian National Council, the parliament of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the PA’s official news agency Wafa reports. This is the first time members of the council will be elected by direct popular vote. In the past, they were appointed or co-opted from within the movement. Abbas, who is president both of the Palestinian Authority and of the PLO, issues a decree saying that: “Elections will be held wherever possible, both inside and outside Palestine, to ensure the broadest possible participation of the Palestinian people wherever they reside.” Promoted: Jewish Crossroads, Yair Golan× The PNC is one of several largely dormant political bodies controlled by Abbas. The PLO is supposed to be the over-arching umbrella body representing Palestinians worldwide, whereas the PA is supposed to be a transitional administrative body providing services for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Abbas has announced elections for the different political bodies he controls, but those have not always been held for a variety of reasons. Even if a PNC election is held in November, the body is very rarely convened by Abbas. The last session it held was in 2018. The last PNC election, which was not open to all voters, was in 2006. The terror groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which are not members of the PLO, are not represented in the council. While dubbed the parliament of the PLO, the PNC’s main role is to elect the more powerful PLO Executive Committee. The actual parliamentary body for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza is called the Palestinian Legislative Council, which has not convened since 2007, when splits between Abbas’s Fatah party and Hamas rendered the body inoperative. Analysts say the more consequential development in Palestinian politics will take place in May, when Fatah holds its eighth General Conference. During that gathering, a vote will be held to fill the party’s powerful central committee, with many of Abbas’s confidants vying for spots.

Hello everyone. A close friend of mine from my local Iranian community has just alerted me that her cousin, named Venus Hosseinnejad, was kidnapped into Islamic Republic custody. They have tortured her into cooperating with a forced confession. The family does not know what prison she is in.

If anyone knows any influencers who can share that, it would make a BIG difference.

Do you think government’s main role should be protecting individual freedom, or stepping in more to solve social and economic problems?
