Did you know Palestine has not held presidential elections since 2005? While an array of factors have contributed to that drought, one is the national divide between its two largest parties, Fatah and Hamas.
With tensions rising across the region, and with violence spiking in the West Bank, now is a crucial time to examine this divide and its vast impact.
On a new episode of EveryDay Voices, we break down this issue with Dr. Mkhaimar Abusada: associate professor and chairman of the department of political science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. Alongside our hosts Ezzeldeen Masri and Andrew Hirsh, Dr. Abusada shares key insights from the ground, along with historical context and what the future holds.
