The city of Jerusalem has once again found itself at the center of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas cited Jerusalem as his reasoning for postponing the long-awaited legislative elections. Of all eligible Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, 93% had registered to vote and 36 lists had to produce 3,000 signatures and post $20,000 in registration fees (at least $10,000 of which is not returnable) to compete in the contest.
