GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian MP Dr. Ahmad Bahar, the first deputy speaker of the Palestinian parliament said Friday that the legislature would continue its functions till a new parliament is elected and sworn-in, describing the step as 100% constitutional.
In an interview with the PIC at his office in Gaza, Bahar described the “miserable” efforts that fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction to transfer the authority of the elected PLC to the appointed central council of the PLO as “unconstitutional”, adding that the present set-up of the PCC itself was also unconstitutional.
Bahar strongly deprecated the practices of Abbas’s militia in the West Bank against the elected Palestinian legislators, accusing Abbas and Fatah faction of conniving against the Palestinian people and the against the duly elected parliament in harmony with the Israeli wishes.
“Abbas couldn’t marginalize the role of the Palestinian Legislative Council”, Bahar stressed, adding, “We have had foiled the Israeli conspiracy and the Fatah conspiracy against the PLC more than once after they attempted to derail the functions of the legislature as they (Fatah and Abbas) had unpatriotic positions in this regard”.
