Penny Wong urges Palestinian Authority to hold elections 'without delay'

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has urged the Palestinian Authority to hold elections without delay. She accused the authority of undermining prospects for a two-state solution by postponing its first elections in two decades.

The postponement of the long-overdue elections has remained a central point of criticism regarding the governance and democratic legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority, impacting international diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a two-state framework.
