RAMALLAH, July 19 (Xinhua) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday issued a decree to hold elections for a new Palestinian National Council (PNC) by the end of 2025.

The decree was issued following a decision by the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) at a meeting on July 17 to hold elections before the end of this year, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The date of the elections will be determined by the decision of the Chairman of the Executive Committee, WAFA reported.

According to the agency, the NTC will include 350 members, two-thirds of whom will represent residents of Palestine itself, and the remaining third will represent the Palestinian diaspora abroad.

The Executive Committee will make a decision on the formation of a preparatory committee, which will be tasked with organizing the necessary events for holding the elections, VAFA added.

The PNS serves as the PLO parliament and includes representatives of Palestinian factions, forces, trade unions and groups both inside and outside Palestine. –0–
