The Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv value in recent days simulation for examining the postponement of the elections by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

It emerged that the authority will find it difficult to continue to hold the reins of power when simultaneously growing and getting stronger measures and the circumstances leading to the strengthening of Hamas and to integrate into the institutions of government and various authorities Of the Palestinian Authority as well as in PLO institutions.

It also emerged from the simulation that in the event of a postponement of the elections, the Palestinian arena will be sucked into internal struggles and internal political clashes, which will eventually lead to violence against Israel.

An analysis of the possible scenarios revealed that Hamas is the big winner after the postponement of the PA elections, and therefore the possibility of escalation in the Gaza Strip and rocket fire towards Israel is increasing.

This is despite the organization's statements that it is not interested in escalation vis-à-vis Israel, along with adhering to the demand to hold the elections on time.

The director of the Institute for National Security Studies, Brigadier General (Res.) Udi Dekel and the coordinator of the Palestinians program at the Noa Schusterman Institute, said: "The Palestinian arena is drawn to internal struggles and a demonstrated counter-attitude toward Israel. .

Hamas and Fatah retirees are determined to challenge Abbas and position themselves as an alternative to the day after his departure, and as part of their quest to illustrate his helplessness toward Israel, they will respond to what is happening on behalf of the entire Palestinian people.

"The internal crisis may, on the one hand, push Abbas to ignite a public protest against Israel, especially in Jerusalem, in order to divert internal criticism from it," they stated.

"Hamas will try to direct public anger at Israel, especially in Jerusalem, and also at the Palestinian Authority," they added.

Against this background, terrorist elements in the Gaza Strip may re-launch rockets at Israel and encourage protest activity in the area of ​​the fence. This will increase the likelihood of a security escalation in the Gaza Strip, although Hamas will strive to do so Great escalation. "

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Hamas list for the Palestinian elections said that the organization would not participate in the assembly of factions tonight, where Abu Mazen is expected to announce the postponement of the procedure.
