Palestinian MPs demand to re-activate the Palestinian Legislative Council

MP Khalil Rab’i, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, told the Palestinian Information Center: “It was better to discuss the issue of activating the legislature when the agreement of 2014 was signed, and the original was to vote on the government of Al-Wefaq in the corridors of the Legislative Council, and today we don’t have to neglect the case”.
MP Nayef Rajoub called for the Legislative Council to convene immediately to discuss the latest developments in reconciliation and agreement away from political rivalries, especially in the context of reconciliation.
He said in a special interview to the Palestinian Center for Information: “Reconciliation is completed only by the sitting of the parties on one level in the Palestinian parliament (legislative) and expressing what is going on in their hearts to support reconciliation by a collective legislative decision in favor of Al-Wifaq and agreement.”
The politician in the Popular Front, Abdel-Alim Da’na, warned of turning its back to the legislative, calling for its immediate convening and a consensus on reconciliation, and to announce it to the public opinion to reassure them that they are actually going to a serious reconciliation and not a carnival.
MP Samir al-Qadi also warned of the passing of the reconciliation sessions without activating the PLC and taking its role. He said: “Reconciliation will not be completed without convening the Legislative Council and holding several meetings to bless what is going on and discuss many important issues that have been pending for years.”
MP Nizar Ramadan believes that the first steps after the entry of the Al-Wifaq government to Gaza should be the activation of the Legislative Council and its convening immediately, and sit the deputies of Hamas and Fatah and the rest of the factions next to each other, and this important psychological scene affects the culture of reconciliation before our people, who is fed up with division.
