AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– Speaker of the Palestinian legislative council Dr. Aziz Dweik has said that the call for legislative and presidential elections was illegal.

He told the PIC on Sunday that de facto Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and his premier Salam Fayyad were trying to rid themselves of crises by calling for those elections.

Dweik opined that such calls were insignificant as long as the duo (Abbas & Fayyad) were not committed to ending the internal split.

Describing the call for elections as political, the speaker said that many bilateral and comprehensive dialogs were made over the past four and a half years of division to no avail due to the refusal to pursue roads leading to ending the discord and because of non acceptance of the results of the last general elections.
