The Israeli government yesterday approved the participation of Jerusalemite Palestinians in the January 25th legislative elections, but did not authorize Hamas to campaign in the city.
The proposal to allow Palestinians to campaign in Jerusalem was submitted to the Knesset by the acting Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert. On Sunday, Israeli soldiers attacked and arrested three Hamas candidates in the Old City of Jerusalem for campaigning without permission.
The Islamic Jihad Movement called on its supporters to boycott the upcoming Palestinian Legislative Council elections saying the elections are based on the Oslo accords which the group does not recognize.
