mahmoud abbas is 85 years old. can he represent a very young population who has many things they want answered by their politicians? guest: that's a very good question. even if these elections go ahead, they exclude the vast majority of the bout -- of the palestinian people. remember the palestinian people are not just residents of the west bank and gaza strip, but the millions forcibly kicked out of their grounds solely on the -- out of their land on the racist grounds that they are not jewish. i know he says there should be elections for the palestine national council but the reality is that has never happened before and you would have to overcome the practicality of holding elections for palestinian refugees in jordan, syria and others where this has been unprecedented. even if they agree on paper, the elections in the west bank and gaza would not produce a legitimate leadership for the whole palestinian people. if hamas and fatah don't run together, they don't give the people of the west bank and gaza strip any

all think think can just be made to disappear so the question is since we know that mahmoud abbas was absolutely committed to collaboration with israel the question is has have masses political leadership given up on the idea of resistance and decided to join mahmoud abbas in a coalition and the other point i just want to make in relation to the agreement in cairo that dr butterworth he talked about it is it's not up to palestinians to guarantee whether the elections of free are fair because as noted this is on the occupation and israel defines virtually every palestinian political party as a terrorist organization and right now there are members of the the last palestinian legislative council legislative council that was elected in 2006 like khaled meshaal rather who are in israeli prisons so israel will not respect well israel will only respect the results of the election if it gets the result which it once was which is the perpetuation of mahmoud abbas and his collaborationist regime ok will not allow a result that does not meet its requirements and nor will the so-called internati

elections held in 2006 which the how massive fairly a to do list run the problem was that mahmoud abbas and fatah did not recognize there is a result and they 'd aligned with israel the united states and various arab regimes to overturn the result and to isolate how mess and created in fact the disastrous split that we're living in now so i don't know why have mass would trust the same people the same a bias in the same fattah and the same so-called international community to respect an election result now the bigger question though is is what do elections mean for a people under occupation it's a fiction that they're electing a government palestinians don't have a state they don't have a government the so-called palestinian authority is not free to do anything. the only thing it exists to do is to collaborate with israel and so-called security coordination and that's why we see the europeans and others being excited about the prospect of elections because for them they think it's a way to renew the legitimacy of the palestinian authority which exists for the purpose of maintaining isra

directly with gaza only with the palestinian authority government i can't speak to where president abbas of the pals when or why he did why is it allowed why is it not allowed to talk of the democratically elected hamas government in gaza well because the hamas government in gaza was not democratically elected the only government that was democratically elected with the palestinian authority with mahmoud abbas the president it is the only entity that israel is allowed to interact with or really any other country in the world have everything i have my whom alone that i was. allowed allowed who allowed by the palestinian authority oslo accords and the rules of international law that recognize only one palestinian government buy back your original point which is that the vaccines from russia and russia is doing a fantastic job the sputnik vaccine is producing 4000000 doses shipped to the palestinians it's working closely with israel to make sure that the logistics work to get it there russian sources have said that the hold up in those 4000000 doses is related to a technical issue but they
