As I have noted here before, the Israeli government's threat not to permit Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem to vote, if Hamas was on the ballot, was a clever move to provide Abu Mazen an escape hatch for postponing the legislative elections scheduled for later this month. Given the electoral strength of Hamas do not be surprised to see Abu Mazen use the escape hatch in order to forestall an Hamas victory against the splintered and partially discredited Fatah candidates.
