Fatah Official Doubts Palestinian Legislative Election Will Be Held in November

Rajoub's doubt, voiced from within Fatah's own leadership, signals that the November timeline is contested before campaigning even begins. His call for a pre-vote national dialogue shifts the question from scheduling to mechanism—implying that consensus on how to hold the election, not merely when, remains unresolved. That distinction matters because it can stall the process without formally cancelling it. Whether the dialogue materializes, and whether it produces an agreed mechanism, is the open question.
