Thank you very much.
Indeed, the Palestinians indicated that the reason for cancellation was that they didn't think it would be possible to have voting take place in East Jerusalem, although I don't think that, at the end of the day, that was ultimately decided.
There are also the other factors. Within the negotiations between Fatah and Hamas in the lead-up to the elections, they tried to reach an agreement and have a unified Palestinian government, and those negotiations were ultimately unsuccessful. Furthermore, within Fatah, there were a lot of different political ambitions and machinations, which made it very difficult to have an outcome that would bring the stability that I think the PA and president wanted. Very much, it was difficult for a variety of reasons.
On COVID, I agree. I think this is another challenge. The combatting of COVID and vaccinations remain slow in West Bank and Gaza.
Thank you.
