Elections in West Bank: ‘Barometer’ on Palestinian public opinion
Palestinians on Saturday cast ballots in tents and damaged buildings in Deir al-Balah, marking the first local election in part of Gaza Strip in over 20 years.
With Hamas affiliated candidates on the list of candidates, the vote serves as a "barometer" on Palestinian public opinion, said Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute.
