What may President Abbas do if no new government can be formed?
Since the January 2006 elections, the PLC has not passed a single piece of legislation. As a result, and as a result of the PLC’s inability to meet, it is expected that President Abbas will suspend the PLC, in spite of the fact that the Basic Law does not empower the President to suspend the PLC.1 In the event that President Abbas suspends the PLC, it is expected that he will also declare new elections; an action for which he also does not have constitutional power to carry out.
