Maariv correspondent Avi Issacharoff said that the PA President's decision to postpone the Palestinian elections was because of his fear of loss.

He said that the occupation's government has not addressed the Palestinian elections officially, but President Abbas used the Israeli objection as an excuse to.

He also said that the condition stated earlier by Jibril Al-Rajoub, regarding Al-Quds inclusion in the elections, provided Abbas with the perfect escape to avoid Fatah's loss in the elections.
