Palestinians Likely to Delay Vote
(Washington Times) Fran Coombs and Willis Witter - The Palestinian Authority is close to postponing a scheduled July 17 vote for a new parliament - possibly until next spring - in the face of a strong showing by Hamas in recent local elections. "It looks like they [the elections] will be delayed," said PA parliament member Qadura Fares. Sheik Hasan Yousef, leader of Hamas in the West Bank, called any delay "unacceptable."
