Nearly seven months after President Mahmoud Abbas formed a constitutional drafting committee, he released the draft “Interim Constitution of the State of Palestine” for public review. The committee will compile feedback over 60 days, aiming to produce a report and recommendations before a final version is prepared for a referendum.

Historically, efforts to establish a Palestinian constitution have been influenced by significant political events, suggesting that this latest effort may follow a similar pattern.
