The legislative vote would be the first since 2006. The EU and Australia, Canada, France and the UK regret the delay and urge elections without further postponement; the four allies also call on Israel not to obstruct Palestinian participation.

Their agenda includes national dialogue and Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s place in the PLO.
