<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; The justice ministry in  Gaza has lashed out at the illegitimate Ramallah government of Salam  Fayyad for calling for local elections next July, describing the process  as null and void.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The ministry in a statement on Wednesday  evening said that the Fayyad government is illegitimate and thus has no  right to call for elections.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The call for elections would deepen  internal Palestinian division and would bring about illegitimate local  councils, it elaborated.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The ministry urged all Palestinian factions to reject the call because it contravened the constitution and law.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">For its part, the Ahrar faction described  the call for elections as &#8220;frivolous&#8221;, adding in a statement on  Wednesday that the step was an attempt to circumvent the Palestinian de  facto situation.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Holding such elections without national  consensus was &#8220;invalid&#8221;, Ahrar said, affirming it would not recognize  such elections or their results.</p>
