Ramallah (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Former US president Jimmy Carter on Saturday urged Palestinians to hold elections to end the de facto division of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the Islamist-run Gaza Strip.
He was speaking at a joint news conference with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in the Palestinian political capital Ramallah in the West Bank.
"We hope that sometime we'll see elections all over the Palestinian area and east Jerusalem and Gaza and also in the West Bank," said Carter, a member of the independent Elders Group of global leaders.
No election has been held in the occupied territories for nearly a decade.
Abbas's presidential mandate expired in 2009, but he remains in office since there has been no election. The Palestinian parliament has also not met since 2007.
In 2006, a year after Abbas was elected, Hamas won the most recent Palestinian legislative elections. Differences between Abbas's Fatah party and the Islamist Hamas then led to the so-called "inqissam", or division.

the one thing I really REALLY wish JCarter would stop doing is stop parading that big bible around. He is an agent of Satan, no more a Christian than BHusseinO.
the pretense is just awful, grating!
“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:23 and additional verses.
Jimmy loves the IslamoNazis so much because the (Saudi) IslamoNazis gave him several million dollars bribe (oops, ‘contribution’) money
and besides, he’s an obvious ‘natural’ anti-Semite, too
what an insult to the Church, JCarter parading around pretending to be a Christian....may he FINALLY go to Hell soon!
Carter was the second worst President ever on the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Obama is the worst, but given Hillary’s proPalestinian positions of the past, were she to be elected, she could very well be even worse. I still remember the picture of her kissing Yasar Arafat on the lips. Disgusting!
I bet Arafat washed his mouth out for a month.
Jimmah was bought and paid for by the Saudis.
He speaks for the Muzzies.
Why won’t Abbas allow elections? Because he know Hamas would win. But I’m sure Jimmah would be just fine with that too.
Its okay, Jimmy, we already know you’re an idiot, no need for further evidence.
I wonder if “Ex-US president” Carter knows that he’s out there urging these “elections”.
It isn't that Jimmy loves Palestinians, it's that he virulently hates Jews. He doesn't even try to hide his antipathy for them, he wears it on his sleeve like a red badge of courage. The senile old fart is a raciest through and through.

How funny, Jimmah calls for elections while next to the man who refuses elections.
Knowing Carter, he’s just angry the government isn’t more heavily influenced by the Taliban.
Because Jimmy Carter never stopped being a Southern Kracker.
