Palestinian Legislative Vote May be Postponed Until Next Year

(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - Jibril Rajoub, national security adviser to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, met Thursday with jailed Fatah Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti to garner his support for postponing elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council until January 2006. Fatah would thus have time to make necessary internal reforms before facing the expected challenge from Hamas in the poll.
