Hamas wins Birzeit University, a week after a similar victory at An-Najah University. The two blocs are the main contenders in the student council elections for universities.

The results come with the continued state of security persecution from the PA and follow-ups and harassment by the occupation of students of the Islamic Bloc. The absence of legislative and presidential elections since 2006 makes the young generation thirsty for attendance and participation in order to live the experience, says the Jerusalem Center for Future Studies.
