Play audio 1XChange playback rate from 1 to 1 Mute audio An Egyptian diplomat and an intelligence official said they had been briefed on the decision, which will be announced Thursday at a meeting of Palestinian factions. They said Egypt is in talks with Israel to reach a compromise to allow the vote but those efforts have so far failed. The two spoke late Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door talks. The intelligence official said Hamas wants the elections to go ahead but that no faction wants to proceed without guarantees from the international community that voting will be held in East Jerusalem. The official said the factions are discussing the formation of a unity government instead that would include Hamas.

First Palestinian elections in 15 years could be postponed again this week

Egyptian officials say the Palestinian Authority later this week plans to call off its first elections in 15 years, citing Israel's refusal to allow voting in East Jerusalem. Israel told European ambassadors on Tuesday that it would not prevent Palestinian elections, but authorities have yet to say whether they will allow voting in East Jerusalem.
