Parliamentary Elections Begin In Occupied Territories

HeadlineJan 25, 2006

In the Occupied Territories, Palestinians are voting today in their first parliamentary elections in 10 years. Recent polls put Fatah, the ruling party that governs the Palestinian Authority, in a dead heat with Hamas. All of the major Palestinian factions are taking part in the elections, with the exception of Islamic Jihad. The US has been accused of meddling in the elections amid revelations it clandestinely funneled $2 million dollars into public service projects in an effort to increase the popularity of the Palestinian Authority.
