Report: Islamic Jihad will hold first leadership elections
The Islamic jihad movement will hold elections for a new leadership for the first time since it was established in the 80s, London newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported. The elections will be held in the next few weeks in the same method the Fatah and Hamas movements held their elections.
According to the report, the main reason for the election announcement is serious arguments between the movement's leaders in Gaza over general policies, relations with Hamas and Fatah and "resistance" to Israel. (Elior Levy)
