PA accused of failing Palestinians at a time of genocide

A Palestinian grassroots body has accused the Palestinian Authority (PA) of failing its people and deepening internal divisions during a time of existential crisis. The group condemned the PA for suspending payments to the families of prisoners and those killed, characterizing the move as a denial of a national duty. It also criticized a new local election law that effectively excludes political opponents by requiring adherence to the Oslo Accords and recognition of Israel. The forum called for national unity, the restoration of payments, and a democratic rebuilding of the Palestine Liberation Organisation to confront Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
