The first Arab elections to be held in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza on 22 May in more than 15 years--to be followed by a presidential vote on 31 July--in theory gives the long-suffering Arab residents in these areas the opportunity to get rid of their failed rulers--the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza.
The remote chance of this happening however will require a citizens' grass roots movement to contest the elections--promising a different way forward in reconciling their differences with Israel.
