The results of the Palestinian colony elections

Written by: Hamada Pharaoh

Without bidding on anyone, perhaps the total number of active Palestinian political forces, whether their parties operating in the 48 areas, or the factions operating in the 67 areas, may they realize, understand and act on the basis that: 1- Armed struggle, 2- Popular uprising, 3- Negotiations, 4- Elections are the means to reach the desired goal, and tools to achieve the aspirations of the Palestinian Arab people to restore their full rights in their homeland.


The aforementioned tools and means are not preliminary headings for adhering to this method or that, with this tool or another, as part of the Palestinian rights. They are not principled and not part of the rights. Rather, they are devoted according to the available data to achieving and restoring the rights of the Palestinian people, during the transitional phase, and the gradual and cumulative programming represented by Phased in order to achieve: 1- Equality in the 48 areas, 2- Independence for the 67 areas, 3- The return of refugees.


As long as this is the case, the Palestinian leaders are required to learn the lesson, understand the numbers and their implications, and the sins they recently committed in the 48 areas, which led to these results that strengthened the role of the Israeli right, increased its value, and its impact on the political and practical decision of the colony, and its negative repercussions on the Palestinian situation. The mistakes made by the Palestinian political movement gave the Israeli extreme right the positions it reached, one of the reasons for which is the lack of a sense of responsibility among the leaders of the three Palestinian lists, which led to the defeat of the National Democratic Assembly and its failure to exceed the threshold, and its failure to reach Parliament.


The assembly obtained 138,000 votes, which were completely lost because it did not reach the decisive rate, which is 3.25 percent of the number of those who reached the polls, which amounted to 4,436,365 votes, which means that exceeding the threshold requires 154,000 votes, and that one seat needs 36,000 voice.


The alliance of the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality with the Arab Movement for Change, obtained 179 thousand votes, and succeeded with five seats, even if the alliance between the three parties remained as it was in the previous session 24 in 2021, and they had collectively obtained 212 thousand votes at the time, while in this session The total votes of the three parties reached 317 thousand votes, and this number gives them 9 seats in parliament instead of the 5 they obtained in the absence of the coalition and because of the division that occurred between them.


The Islamic Movement - the United List alone received 194,000 votes in this session, and if the alliance between the four parties had remained, they would have obtained 511,000 votes, as happened to them and to them in the 23rd Knesset session in March 2020, which again gives them 15 seats instead of ten. They obtained it in this session, and if the result were like this, the coalition of the extreme Israeli religious right and right, headed by Netanyahu, would not have reached what it has reached. Will the bright-minded leaders of the four Palestinian parties in Areas 48 realize the sin they committed, and I will not be extremist, harsh with them Because of my personal affection for all their leaders, and my appreciation for their militant political role, and if it were not for that, I would have said that they might realize the extent of the crime they committed against themselves and their people.
