Where it stands

Mahmoud Abbas initially scheduled a legislative election for November 28, and candidate registration opened in September. The EU offered election observers. A decree reported on October 10 instead scheduled both presidential and legislative elections for September 11, 2027. Israel's ambassador to Canada subsequently challenged Ottawa's recognition policy, citing the delay.
