At last Palestinians get to vote

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 21 May 2013

Sabri Saydam- an adviser to Abbas and a jury member for some of the episodes - commented

President Abbas is aware of the show, and he was happy, because he is interested in seeing new faces, youthful faces, in the political arena."

Hopefully the eventual winner will be asked the following three questions:

Are you prepared to sit down and negotiate with Israel without preconditions?
Are you prepared to pledge that elections for President will be held at least once very four years?
Are you prepared to recognise Israel as the Jewish National Home?

If the winner answers "yes" to all three questions - maybe "The President" could positively contribute towards ending the current impasse in resuming negotiations.

Any TV show that turns unreality into reality is indeed money well spent.
