Hamas open to extension of presidential term
Hamas has indicated willingness to allow a technocratic government to take power, providing that all sides agree on the name of each minister. They may also agree to an extension of President Mahmoud Abbas’ term if Fatah allows the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) to convene and approve the decision. Several Hamas lawmakers are jailed, and Fatah has argued that Hamas may not use surrogates to represent the imprisoned legislators.
