阿巴斯推迟巴勒斯坦大选至2027年9月引各方批评：以色列称逃避责任，达赫兰斥私人封地
巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯（Mahmoud Abbas）周六颁布法令，取消原定今年11月举行的立法选举，把总统选举与立法选举一并推迟至2027年9月11日举行，巴勒斯坦官方通讯社WAFA报道了这一决定。这是巴勒斯坦政治日程的又一次重大改写：巴勒斯坦人上一次举行立法或总统选举还是在2005至2006年，至今已二十年。（GSM 10月10日已报法令内容，本条为各方反应。）
法令把推迟归咎于以色列措施造成的障碍：约旦河西岸方面，包括以军袭击、定居点扩张、定居者暴力、涵盖东耶路撒冷的出行限制，以及以色列继续扣留巴勒斯坦税收；加沙方面，则有异常的安全与人道状况、以军撤出未完成、重建缺乏进展、国际稳定部队与警察部署无进展，以及以方限制选举委员会人员与国际观察员进入加沙和东耶路撒冷。
以色列方面迅速回击。以色列外长吉迪恩·萨尔（Gideon Saar）驳斥推迟决定，称这是阿巴斯逃避责任的借口。法令还称，推迟是在巴勒斯坦解放组织（PLO）执行委员会决议之后、并经与各派协商作出的，目的是为全面的巴勒斯坦民族对话留出时间。
巴勒斯坦内部批评同样尖锐。长期居住在阿联酋的加沙本土政治人物穆罕默德·达赫兰（Mohammed Dahlan）发表声明，指责阿巴斯和他身边那圈自肥的既得利益者，已把巴勒斯坦权力机构变成了私人封地。记者、曾任解放巴勒斯坦民主阵线官员的埃斯马特·曼苏尔（Esmat Mansour）则直指：唯一能解释这次推迟的就是你对选举的恐惧。你害怕选举，不想让人民有发言权。
也有分析持不同看法。政治分析人士哈桑·卡蒂布（Ghassan al-Khatib）对法新社说，他从未指望会投票，因为以色列制造了不利于选举的条件，我不认为巴勒斯坦内部政治是推迟的原因。活动人士穆斯塔法·巴尔古提（Mustafa Barghouti）则批评二十年不举行选举完全不可接受，称现在一切权力都集中在行政当局手中。举行选举是包括欧盟在内的国际社会对巴勒斯坦权力机构改革的核心要求之一。（消息来源：路透社、法新社、半岛电视台）
Abbas Postpones Palestinian Elections to 2027 Draws Backlash: Israel Calls It Evasion, Dahlan Slams Private Fiefdom
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree on Saturday cancelling legislative elections scheduled for November and postponing both presidential and legislative polls to September 11, 2027, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. It is another major rewrite of the Palestinian political calendar: Palestinians have not held legislative or presidential elections since 2005-06, two decades ago. GSM reported the decree's contents on Oct. 10; this story covers the reactions.
The decree attributed the delay to obstacles posed by Israeli measures: in the West Bank, military attacks, settlement expansion, settler violence, movement restrictions including in East Jerusalem, and Israel's continued withholding of Palestinian tax revenues; in Gaza, exceptional security and humanitarian conditions, the incomplete Israeli withdrawal, lack of progress in reconstruction and on deploying an international stabilisation force, plus Israeli restrictions on access for election commission staff and international observers to Gaza and East Jerusalem.
Israel pushed back swiftly. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar dismissed the postponement, calling it an attempt by Abbas to evade responsibility. The decree said the decision followed a Palestine Liberation Organisation executive committee resolution and consultations with Palestinian factions, aiming to allow time for a comprehensive Palestinian national dialogue.
Palestinian domestic criticism was equally sharp. Mohammed Dahlan, a Gaza native based in the United Arab Emirates, said in a statement that Abbas and the circle of self-serving beneficiaries around him have turned the institutions of the Palestinian Authority into a private fiefdom. Journalist Esmat Mansour, a former official of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said in a Facebook video: The only thing that could explain this delay is your fear of elections. You are afraid of holding elections. You do not want people to have a say.
Others saw it differently. Palestinian analyst Ghassan al-Khatib told AFP he never expected there to be a vote because Israel is making conditions that are not conducive to elections, adding that he did not think internal Palestinian politics was the reason for the postponement. Activist Mustafa Barghouti called two decades without elections totally unacceptable, saying everything is concentrated in the hands of the executive authority. Holding polls is one of the international community's core demands for Palestinian Authority reform, including from the European Union. (Sources: Reuters, AFP, Al Jazeera)
