has said elections will be held before the end of the year for the Paleostinian National Council, for the first time since 2006, Haaretz reports.

The Paleostinian National Council, comprising approximately 300 members, is the legislative body of the Paleostine Liberation Organization. The body was once the sole representative of the Paleostinian people internationally, but its power has been diminished with the advent of the PA as a Paleostinian proto-government, and today it holds mainly symbolic internal significance.

Like the Paleostinian Authority, it is dominated by the Fatah movement.

Haaretz’s Jack Khoury notes that the announcement of new elections for the body appears to be an attempt to revive public legitimacy for the PA and the PLO, which are facing a deep crisis of popularity in the West Bank.
