Some Palestinians tried to run in the municipal elections but soon withdrew from the race after multiple threats. \nNevertheless, a poll jointly conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion suggested a change from the status quo, as a new Palestinian political party, \u201cJerusalem for Jerusalemites\u201d, is determined to run in this election and capture Palestinians\u2019 votes. \nThe twenty two member list is headed by Dr. Ramadan Dabash, a community leader from Tzu Baher. The expectation of several Palestinian candidates running on the ballot may be a game-changer this year.\nElkin gets PM\u2019s endorsement for Jerusalem mayor\n\u201cJerusalem affairs minister had done so much for our capital\u201d, Benjamin Netanyahu said of his Likud colleague. When Elkin, Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister, announced his candidacy for Jerusalem mayor on May 31, he expected Netanyahu to support him. \nOutgoing mayor Nir Barkat, who has headed the city council for 10 years, endorsed Elkin a month ago. \u201cI am willing to give up the position of a senior minister and member of the security minister and member of the security cabinet for the sake of Jerusalem\u201d, Elkin said. \nThe municipal elections will see Elkin run against Deputy Mayor Moshe Lion, current Knesset member Kulanu Rachel Azaria, Zionist Union MK Nachman Shai, political activist and Councillor Ofer Berkovich, ultra-Orthodox Deputy Mayor Yossi Deitch and Jerusalem city councilman Aryeh King.\u00a0\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in\u00a0Middle East :\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n","author":42,"featured_media":2426,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5764,5761,5763,5751,5756,5755,5753,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[],"class_list":["post-28275","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-employment-training","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Since the Six-Day War, residents of Eastern Jerusalem have boycotted the municipal elections. 5 years ago, less than 1% of Palestinians voted, but some say this year\u2019s vote on October 30 will be different.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jerusalem-1.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jerusalem-1.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"La Palestine conna\u00eet le taux de ch\u00f4mage le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 au monde 1","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.56,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jerusalem-1.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jerusalem-1.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"La Palestine conna\u00eet le taux de ch\u00f4mage le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 au monde 1","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.56,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Israel \/ Palestine : Will East Jerusalemites participate in municipal votes?
