PA Faces Dwindling Popularity
(Al-Monitor) Ahmad Melhem - The popularity of the Palestinian Authority government is declining among Palestinians, according to an opinion poll published by the Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD) on Aug. 25. 25% support keeping the current government, while 70% support forming a new government, and 75% support holding immediate legislative and presidential elections. AWRAD Director Nader Saeed said the poll "showed that the higher level of frustration and despair among Palestinians did not result from confronting Israel or the difficult economic conditions, but rather from internal differences and confrontations."
