> Palestinian activist Samer Sinijlawi told FRANCE 24 that delaying the first legislative elections in 20 years until September 2027 was “a terrible disappointment” for a generation that has never been able to vote. He rejected Israeli restrictions as an excuse, blaming ageing Palestinian leaders’ “rejection” of change.
