Palestinians Threaten to Cancel Elections.
JERUSALEM - The Palestinian Authority will cancel Jan. 25 parliamentary elections if Israel goes ahead with its plan to bar Palestinians from voting in disputed Jerusalem, a senior Palestinian official said Wednesday.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has been under pressure from his Fatah Party to postpone the vote, amid concerns about the growing political clout of the Islamic militant group Hamas. But Palestinian officials denied Abbas was using Israel’s threat as a pretext to call off the vote.

Abbas said he hasn’t decided yet whether to delay the vote. In the past, Abbas has insisted the vote will take place as scheduled, but on Wednesday he hinted for the first time it might not. “This is a big responsibility that must be studied carefully,” Abbas said.
