RAMALLAH, West Bank — Despite repeated calls for President Mahmoud Abbas to convene a meeting of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), the Palestinian people are still waiting.
In the most recent bids to get Abbas' attention, 18 MPs in the council — the majority of which are from Fatah — addressed a Nov. 4 letter to Abbas asking him to hold a PLC session. Also, the Hamas parliamentary bloc in the Gaza Strip organized a sit-in outside PLC headquarters in Gaza.
