Abbas’s withdrawal merely confirms the obvious. Another such election in the near future, including the one set for January, is unlikely to occur, mainly owing to the continuing rift between the PLO and Hamas, which controls Gaza.
如今阿巴斯的退让只不过是确认了目前再明显不过的现状而已。另外一场类似的选举，包括准备在一月举办的那场，也很可能不会举行，主要原因则是巴解组织和哈马斯之间的持续冲突，而后者控制着加沙地区。
