Heated battle anticipated for Palestinian legislative elections

  • The vote, which precedes a presidential election called for July 31, is part of efforts by the dominant Palestinian movements — Fatah and Hamas — to boost international support for Palestinian governance
  • Fatah is facing challenges from dissident factions including the Freedom list, led by Nasser Al-Qidwa, a nephew of the late Palestinian icon, Yasser Arafat
