Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb

The overwhelming majority of the Palestinian polls in the pre-election period were deceiving. They forecasted more or less 40% of the votes for the ruling party Fatah, 40% for Hamas and around 20% for the 4 small “independent” or “leftist” parties combined. With such an outcome, everyone would have been happy.

Dr. Bernard Sabella, Jerusalem

I ran as a Fatah candidate in the January 25th Palestinian parliamentary elections and I won the trust of my people for one of the two Christian seats from Jerusalem.
