It quoted Saeb Erekat, member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee, saying that dissolving the parliament, the Palestinian Legislative Council, “is a historic opportunity to get rid of the reasons for the division by going back to the will of the people.”

Al-Ayyam said a United Nations report said the number of Palestinians killed\and injured in 2018b has increased, as well as the number of attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
