As an exit strategy for the current crisis between Fateh
and Hamas and the split of authority, Hamas’s position is to call for an
unconditional dialogue with Abu Mazin based on the current status quo. Abu
Mazin’s and Fateh’s position is that he would agree to such a dialogue but
under one condition; Hamas must first transfer control of the PA Gaza
headquarters to him and return to the status quo ante. Which of the two
positions is closer to your view? |

President Mahmud Abbas has issued a decree that has
changed the Palestinian electoral law from the current mixed one of proportional
representation and majoritarian systems based on districts to one that is
fully based on proportional representation whereby all the West Bank and the
Gaza Strip would constitute one electoral district and voting would be for
party lists rather than to individuals and the share of each list in the
seats of the parliament would be equal to the percentage of votes it received
in the election. Do you support or oppose this change? |

There is currently talk about
conducting Palestinian-Israeli negotiations with the aim of establishing a

Jerusalem, and others. Do you support or oppose the participation of the

border issue whereby the Palestinian state would be established in all areas
occupied by Israel in 1967 with the exception of some settlements in about 5%

quality that belongs now to Israel. Do you agree or disagree with such a
