2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Nalgae
Nalgae reached its peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 988 hPa during August 5 for a brief time, as it was beginning to transition into an extratropical cyclone. The JTWC downgraded Nalgae to a tropical depression later that day and issued their final advisory after the storm was located in very unfavorable environments. The JMA followed suit early on August 6 when Nalgae fully transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, after which its remnants moved further north and were last noted during August 9.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Banyan
On August 10, Tropical Depression 14W formed in the North Pacific Ocean. It strengthened into a tropical storm on August 11 at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC), and was named Banyan. Rapid intensification occurred on Banyan, and it intensified into a typhoon on August 12 at 5 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC). Banyan reached its peak strength of 150 km/h (95 mph) on August 13, without harming any land, as a Category 3 equivalent system in a high latitude, like Typhoon Songda (2016). Banyan began to start weakening on August 14, and continue to rapidly weaken as it entered the frigid cold waters of the North Pacific. It weakened into an extratropical depression on August 17.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hato (Isang)
A low-pressure area developed into a tropical depression on August 19, while located to the southeast of Taiwan, and was named by PAGASA as Tropical Depression Isang. Over the next few days, Isang became a tropical storm, and was named Hato. Hato then became a severe tropical storm as it passed through the Batanes region of the Philippines, and the PAGASA later issued its final warning as Hato (named Isang) moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hato (Isang)
It gradually intensified and reached typhoon status on the afternoon of August 22 after entering the northeastern part of the South China Sea. On August 23, 07:00 HKT, Hato was approximately 100 km southeast of Hong Kong, bringing rain to the mainland as well as Hainan to the west. At 11:00 HKT the eye was approximately 60 km southwest of Hong Kong with the typhoon heading onto the mainland in a west-northwesterly direction.

Hong Kong Observatory issued Hurricane Signal No. 10 at 09:10 HKT, August 23, the first time since 2012. A total of 11 people were killed while total damage in Mainland China were counted to CN¥28.91 billion (US$4.34 billion). No people were killed in Hong Kong, while estimated damage in Hong Kong amounted to HK$4 billion (US$511 million). In Macau, losses of 12.50 billion patacas (US$1.55 billion) were incurred when high tides exacerbated flooding in most of the low-lying areas, inundating ground floor shops and businesses.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Hato (Isang)
There were 12 deaths as a result of the typhoon, including a number of people who drowned in flooded underground car-parks. Despite making landfall in South China, Hato triggered floods in northern Vietnam and killed 1 person. The total damage by heavy rainfall in Bắc Kạn Province was 31 billion₫ (US$1.36 million). In total, there were 24 deaths attributed to the typhoon.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Pakhar (Jolina)
On August 24, a tropical depression formed in the Philippine Sea and was named Jolina by PAGASA. On the next day, Jolina intensified into a tropical storm, and was named Pakhar. On August 26, Pakhar passed over the Philippines heading westward toward mainland China where it gathered strength into a severe tropical storm  before making landfall in Tianshan on August 27, where after the previous monster storm Typhoon Hato hit days ago, they raised Signal #8 for Pakhar's arrival and landfall. Pakhar rapidly dissipated the next day.

Total economic losses in South China amounted to CN¥760 million (US$114.4 million) while a total of twelve people were killed in relation to the storm. Moreover, damages in the Philippines were recorded at ₱41.27 million (US$808 thousand) and 2 billion₫ (US$88,000) in Vietnam.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Sanvu
On August 27, the JMA began to monitor a tropical depression that had developed about 441 km (274 mi) north-northeast of Saipan, although the system's nature was more of a monsoon depression. The JTWC followed suit on the following day, designating the system as 17W. Around the same time, the system had intensified into Tropical Storm Sanvu. By August 29, Sanvu increased in size, and therefore it prompted the JMA to upgrade it to a severe tropical storm. After moving in a westward direction, Sanvu stalled and entered a region of favorable conditions.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Sanvu
As a ragged eye developed, both agencies upgraded Sanvu to a typhoon during August 31. Sanvu reached its peak intensity on September 1 as a Category 2 typhoon. Thereafter, the system steadily weakened as it started to move northwards with JTWC immediately downgrading the system to a tropical storm and issuing their final advisory late on September 2. The JMA still classified Sanvu as a typhoon until they issued their final advisory as the system had transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September 3.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Sanvu
Sanvu did not caused any significant damage in the Northern Mariana Islands, though a 33-year-old woman drowned at Obyan beach in Saipan due to large waves on August 29.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Mawar
On August 30, the JMA started to track a tropical depression to the north-northeast of Luzon, Philippines. Given the international designation of 18W by the JTWC, the JMA upgraded the system immediately to Tropical Storm Mawar. Slowly organizing, convection had rapidly developed and Mawar strengthened into a severe tropical storm early on September 2. On September 3, Mawar had weakened to a tropical storm after environments started to become unfavorable due to high wind shear. Later that day, Mawar weakened to a tropical depression and the JTWC issued their final advisory while making landfall over in Southeastern China between the cities of Shanwei and Shantou. The JMA followed suit early on September 4 when Mawar had fully dissipated.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Mawar
The China's National Meteorological Center (NMC) issued a blue alert for the southern parts of Guangdong on September 1. During 2:00 a.m. local time on September 2, the Hong Kong Observatory issued a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 1 over in Hong Kong. Chinese authorities activated a natural disaster alert and response to help local civil affairs departments in areas such as the provinces of Fujian and Guandong to prepare for relief work. By September 3, the NMC had raised their warning signal to a yellow alert. Flooding from Mavar was a major concern with reports of rainfall of up to 80 millimetres (3.1 in) in some places which were impacted by Hato and Pakhar. Total economic losses in South China were counted to be CNY 10 million (US$1.53 million).


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Guchol (Kiko)
On September 3, the JMA started to track a tropical depression that had developed to the east of Luzon, Philippines. During the next day, the PAGASA initiated advisories and gave the local name Kiko, while the JTWC followed suit by giving it the designation 19W. However, due to increased wind shear along with an exposed circulation, the JTWC issued its final advisory on 03:00 UTC September 5.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Storm Guchol (Kiko)
Several hours later, deep convection was depicted and despite moderate to high shear, the JTWC re-initiated advisories, while the JMA had upgraded the system to a tropical storm, naming it as Guchol early on the next day. On 21:00 UTC of that day, the JTWC stopped issuing warnings on the system after convection significantly weakened. JMA later followed suit early on the next day by declaring it a remnant low as it neared Putian, Fujian on Strait of Taiwan. The remnant low would then make landfall over Pingtan County of Fujian in China late on the following day before it transitioned into an extratropical storm near Zhejiang as it merged with the cold front on September 8.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Talim (Lannie)
A tropical depression formed east of Guam on September 7. By the next day, the JTWC began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression 20W. On September 9, 20W organized into a tropical storm, with the JMA naming the system as Talim. With gradual intensification, the JMA upgraded Talim to a severe tropical storm. Talim further strengthened to a typhoon on September 11 where it simultaneously entered the PAR, with PAGASA naming it as Lannie. The JTWC, however, delayed their upgrade until September 12.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Talim (Lannie)
Due to an ill-defined eye, Talim maintained its intensity until its eye became much clearer as rapid deepening ensued, as Talim became a Category 4 on September 14, and reached its peak intensity with 1-minute sustained winds of 220 km/h (135 mph). Talim began to curve eastward as it rapidly weakened to a tropical storm thereafter, making landfall in Kyushu on September 17, with a path of heavy rainfall up to the region east of Tokyo.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Talim (Lannie)
In Japan, 5 people were killed, and the agricultural loss were about JP¥32 billion (US$287.9 million). Total damages across the country were counted to be US$750 million.

Early on October 7, a tropical depression formed to the west of the Philippines.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 23W
Early on October 10, the tropical depression made landfall in Hà Tĩnh Province, Vietnam, and dissipated shortly afterward. Consequently, both the JMA and the JTWC issued their final advisories for the storm.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 23W
Tropical Depression 23W caused severe flooding over provinces of Northern and Central Vietnam. Roughly more than 700 houses have been destroyed, while rescue efforts have saved 28 people from the danger zone. In total, 100 people were killed, and damages were about 13 trillion₫ (US$572 million). During October 10, the Red River was forecast to have waters exceed to the levels of 3–50 cm (2–20 in). In Hoàng Long river (Ninh Bình Province) flooding was the most severe since 1985.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Khanun (Odette)
By October 11, the Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded a disturbance that was organizing in the Philippine Sea. By 06:00 UTC on the following day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center also upgraded the disturbance to a depression, designating it as "24W". By 12:00 UTC the same day, the JMA officially upgraded the depression, naming it as "Khanun". Two hours later, the PAGASA upgraded the depression, naming it "Odette". Over the rest of the day, Khanun intensified under favorable conditions, while approaching the northern parts of Luzon.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Khanun (Odette)
At 14:00 UTC (10:00 pm PHST), PAGASA upgraded "Odette" to a tropical storm while nearing landfall over Santa Ana, Cagayan. The storm will make landfall on the place, and emerged into the South China Sea, when it started re-intensifying under favorable conditions. At 06:00 UTC, JMA upgraded Khanun into a severe tropical storm; the PAGASA would later follow suit, as "Odette" is also upgraded into a severe tropical storm. At 14:00 UTC (10:00 pm PHST), PAGASA reported that Severe Tropical Storm "Odette" has exited their Philippine Area of Responsibility.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Khanun (Odette)
Intensifying in the South China Sea, Khanun was upgraded to a typhoon by the JMA on October 14 at 12:00 UTC. The JTWC would follow suit six hours later, upgrading the storm into a category 1 typhoon. By the next day, JMA reported that Khanun reached its peak intensity with 135 km/h (75 knots) and a pressure of 955 hPa. The JTWC would follow suit three hours later with the winds of 165 km/h (90 knots) and a pressure of 965 hPa.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Khanun (Odette)
After its peak, Khanun immediately weakened under the influence of the northeast monsoon; at the time the storm made landfall over the Leizhou Peninsula, the system was barely at tropical storm intensity. Both agencies would issue their last advisories on Khanun, as the storm weakened further while approaching the northern Vietnam.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Khanun (Odette)
According to the NDRRMC, Khanun killed only one person, with total damages of ₱4.45 million (US$86,600). Authorities in Hong Kong and Macau raised the number 8 tropical cyclone warning on October 15 as gale-force winds affected the region. In total, damages from Khanun in South China were counted to be CNY2.46 billion (US$373 million).


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Lan (Paolo)
The United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) initially mentioned a tropical disturbance over Chuuk on October 11. After the slow consolidation, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert to the elongated system early on October 14, shortly after the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) started to monitor it as a low-pressure area. The agency upgraded it to a tropical depression almost one day later and began to issue tropical cyclone warnings since 06:00 UTC on October 15.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Lan (Paolo)
In the afternoon, the JTWC also upgraded it to a tropical depression assigning the designation 25W, which formative but shallow convective bands had become more organized, and symmetrically wrapped into a defined low-level circulation center. About three hours later, the JMA upgraded it to the twenty-first Northwest Pacific tropical storm in 2017 and assigned the international name Lan, when it was located approximately 310 km (190 mi) to the northeast of Palau. Early on October 16, the JTWC upgraded Lan to a tropical storm too, based on T-number 2.5 of the Dvorak technique, shortly before it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and received the name Paolo from PAGASA.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Lan (Paolo)
In Japan, 17 people were killed in Mainland Japan and the agricultural loss were about JP¥62.19 billion (US$547.9 million). Total economic losses were counted to be US$2 billion.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 26W
Originating from an enhanced monsoon trough, a tropical disturbance developed just to the northwest of Palawan on October 17. On October 18, the JTWC had issued a TCFA on the system. By 21:00 UTC of that day, the JTWC began issuing advisories as they classified it as a tropical depression, assigning the identifier 26W. This was due to deep convection found near the storm's center with formative banding, along with its location over in a favorable environment. Initially, its forecast stated that 26W would intensify into a weak tropical storm, although due to a disorganized center with strong shear, the JTWC issued their final advisory on October 19 as it was being absorbed by the outflow of nearby Typhoon Lan.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 26W
Associated with the rainbands of a nearby typhoon, 26W helped spread scattered rainfall throughout most of Visayas and northern Mindanao. Residents in some areas were alerted against possible flash floods and landslides. 14 people were dead from heavy rainfall from the system and its precursor, and raised a state of calamity in Zamboanga City on October 23.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Saola (Quedan)
A tropical depression formed north of Guam, the next day, the Tropical Depression transitioned into a Tropical Storm and the Japan Meteorological Agency named it Tropical Storm Saola. By evening of that day, Saola entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). The PAGASA gave the local name "Quedan" to the storm. By the next day, Saola moved slowly and strengthened into a severe tropical storm. Its intensity did not change, even as high wind shear occurred to the north of Saola and the strengthening northeast monsoon while heading to Japan. It started weakening while in cold waters and brought rains to Southern Japan but did not make landfall. It dissipated after avoiding Japan and heading northeast.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 29W
The JMA upgraded a low-pressure area to a tropical depression over the southern portion of the South China Sea, on October 30. The JTWC issued a TCFA during the next day as it gathered strength. Initially forecast to intensify to a tropical storm, the system rapidly deteriorated and degenerated to a remnant low on November 3 as it tracked into the Gulf of Thailand. Over in the course of two days, after re-curving back to the gulf, the JTWC re-issued a TCFA. By November 6, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Depression 29W. On November 8, 29W made landfall over the Malay Peninsula, before dissipating soon afterward.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Tropical Depression 29W
Tropical Depression 29W caused unusually heavy rains and flash floods to occur in the state of Penang, killing 7 people. Flood waters in parts of the city reached 3.7 m (12 ft), submerging entire homes.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Damrey (Ramil)
The JMA upgraded a low-pressure area to a tropical depression east of Visayas on October 31. PAGASA gave warnings to the system and named it Ramil. The storm brought rainy weather on the All Saints's Day (November 1) to Visayas. The tropical depression made landfall over Busuanga, Palawan at midnight on November 1. On November 2, Ramil strengthened, and the JTWC and JMA upgraded Ramil to a tropical storm, and gave the system the international name Damrey.

2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Tembin (Vinta)
During December 16, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had developed about 950 km (590 mi) to the southeast of Guam, before they reclassified it as an area of low pressure during the following day. Over the next few days, the system moved gradually north-westwards in favourable conditions, before it was reclassified as a tropical depression by the JMA during December 20, while it was located to the northeast of Palau. During that day, the JTWC and PAGASA also classified the system as a tropical depression with the latter naming it as Vinta, before the JMA named the system Tembin as it had developed into a tropical storm.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Typhoon Tembin (Vinta)
Rough waves caused by Tembin sank a ferry on December 22, killing five people. An additional 261 people were also killed due to flooding in Mindanao. Estimated damages are around ₱2.1 billion (US$42 million).


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
On March 19, a tropical depression formed close to the northeast of Mindanao, Philippines, and dissipated over the Sibuyan Sea two days later. Early on June 29, the JMA initiated advisories on a newly formed tropical depression located about 138 km (86 mi) south of Okinawa Island. The system re-curved and started moving in a northeastward direction until it dissipated to the southwest of Tokyo on July 1. Early on July 4, the JMA indicated that a tropical depression had formed about 505 km (314 mi) south of Okinotorishima. During the next day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system, although it was canceled several hours later. After moving northward, the depression rapidly weakened as it was absorbed by a stationary front on July 7.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
Early on July 13, the JMA reported that a non-tropical low had transitioned into a tropical depression about 75 km (45 mi) north-northeast of Iwo Jima. The depression moved in a generally northeasterly direction until weakening to a low-pressure area by 06:00 UTC on July 16. A tropical depression formed about 700 km (435 mi) northeast of Wake Island late on July 25, though the JTWC indicated it  as a subtropical system with estimated recorded winds of 65 km/h (40 mph).


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
After several days, the system had already transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on July 29, without becoming a tropical storm. Early on August 25 the JMA started to track a tropical depression over in the South China Sea, although it was last monitored during the next day when it was absorbed by the outflow of Tropical Storm Pakhar. On August 28, the JMA started to issue advisories on a tropical depression that had developed about 1,217 km (756 mi) east-northeast of Tuguegarao City.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Systems, Other systems
The JMA predicted that the system would become a tropical storm within the next 24 hours, although because the system did not develop further, the JMA issued their final advisory on 03:00 UTC of August 29 when the system had weakened into a low-pressure area. The remnants of the system helped with formation of Tropical Storm Mawar. On December 29, a weak tropical depression formed south-southwest of Palau. The system later strengthened into Tropical Storm Bolaven during the following year.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names
Within the Northwest Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and PAGASA assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph).


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names
PAGASA assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E–115°E and between 5°N–25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it. The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee. Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in gray.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, International names
During the season 27 tropical storms developed in the Western Pacific and each one was named by the JMA, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. During the season, the names Hato and Lan were used for the first (and only, in the case of Hato) time, after they had replaced the names Washi and Vicente, which were retired after the 2011 and 2012 seasons, respectively.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, International names
After the season the Typhoon Committee retired the names Hato, Kai-tak and Tembin from the naming lists, and in 2019, they were replaced with Yamaneko, Yun-yeung and Koinu, respectively.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Philippines
During the season PAGASA used its own naming scheme for the 22 tropical cyclones, that either developed within or moved into their self-defined area of responsibility. The names were taken from a list of names, that was last used during the 2013 season and are scheduled to be used again during the 2021 season. All of the names are the same except for Lannie, Salome and Yasmin, which replaced the names Labuyo, Santi and Yolanda after they were retired. The names Lannie and Salome were used for the first time this year.


2017 Pacific typhoon season, Storm names, Philippines
On December 21, PAGASA announced that it would remove the names Urduja and Vinta from their naming lists after they caused over ₱1 billion in damage. They were replaced with Uwan and Verbena in 2019.

2017 Pakistan Super League
The 2017 Pakistan Super League (also known as PSL 2 or, for sponsorship reasons, HBL PSL 2017), was the second season of the Pakistan Super League, a franchise Twenty20 cricket league established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2016. On 19 October 2016, at the 2017 player draft, league chairman Najam Sethi announced that the final of the 2017 tournament might be played in Lahore, Pakistan, depending on the security situation there.


2017 Pakistan Super League
The PCB confirmed it was their intention to play the final in Lahore in January 2017 with players being flown into and out of Pakistan during a short window either side of the final. The Umpire Decision Review System (DRS) was used in play-off matches. The defending champions Islamabad United were eliminated in the first Eliminator. The 2017 PSL was broadcast in more than 10 territories. According to Najam Sethi ratings were higher than the previous season.

2017 Pakistan Super League, Background
Before the 2017 Pakistan Super League players draft in October 2016, league chairman Najam Sethi announced that the league hoped to hold the 2017 final in Lahore, Pakistan, with the agreement of Punjab Government officials. In the league's first season, all matches, including the final, were held in the UAE for security reasons. Sethi claimed the league had signed foreign players on the condition that if their team reached the final, they would have to travel to Lahore.


2017 Pakistan Super League, Background
Agents rebutted this claim saying their clients had agreed that they would only travel to play the final in Pakistan if the security advice prior to the final was favourable. They could not be forced to travel there. A PSL team official said security would need to be "extremely high", adding that "cash incentives" had been offered to foreign players to agree to travel to Lahore, although no action would be taken against any player who refused to do so. In August 2016, Sethi had stated that if players were unwilling to travel that teams could pick from a pool of foreign players from other teams who had agreed to do so, and that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) could organise "foolproof security" for the event.

The six cricketers that were suspended by the PCB are: Sharjeel Khan (on 10 February), Khalid Latif (on 10 February), Nasir Jamshed (on 13 February), Mohammad Irfan (on 14 March), Shahzaib Hasan (on 17 March) and Mohammad Nawaz (16 May).

2017 Palestinian local elections
The Palestinian cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, announced on 23 June 2016 a decision to hold municipal elections on 8 October 2016. The elections were suspended by the Palestinian Court in early September and in January 2017 they were set to 13 May 2017.


2017 Palestinian local elections
They were expected to be the first elections in all of the Palestinian territories since Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, as Hamas agreed to participate in the local elections and allow them to be held in the Gaza Strip but disagreements between Hamas and Fatah led to Hamas boycotting stating it will participate only after "ending disagreements, achieving reconciliation, and uniting Palestinian institutions, including at the political, judicial, and security levels". The elections were later slated to be held in West Bank in May 2017 and were postponed in Gaza Strip.


2017 Palestinian local elections
According to a statement from the Palestinian Ministers Council, the reason behind the conduct of elections was to "attempt to end national conflict and unite Palestinians in accordance with the law and to pave the road towards holding presidential and legislative elections."


2017 Palestinian local elections, Background
The last Palestinian local elections were held in 2012, excluding the Gaza Strip, where Hamas rules since 2007 and since has boycotted the local elections based in the Fatah controlled Palestinian authority. On 20 July 2016 Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas's political bureau member, said in a speech that Hamas is willing to participate in local elections in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank "no matter the circumstances".


2017 Palestinian local elections, Background
Hayya explained the reason behind Hamas’ approval to conduct and participate in the elections, saying, "These elections are local and aimed at serving a cause, so let us put all our efforts and dedication to serve our community and prioritize partnership." Analysts said Hamas decided to participate in the local elections, taking advantage of Fatah's internal crisis.


2017 Palestinian local elections, Background
In a 28 July 2015 interview of Al-Monitor and Kayed al-Ghul, a PFLP's political bureau member, it was revealed that five Palestinian left-wing factions: PFLP, DFLP, FIDA, PPP and PNI have agreed to form a unified list for the first time in history, consisting of figures chosen by the parties. Ghul explained that one of the motives of the left-wing parties to create the list was the need to "break the acute polarization between Fatah and Hamas plaguing the Palestinian society" since 2007.

Talal Abu Zarifa, a member of the DFLP's political bureau said the left-wing parties had contacts with other factions (such as Hamas and Fatah) but denied any alliance with them. In the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, the left-wing parties which at the time ran in separated lists obtained 8% of the votes. Zarifa said the left-wing parties are not building on surpassing their previous goals in 2006, but he thinks there is a positive feeling now when the parties are unified. Talal Okal, a writer and political analyst said he believes the left-wing parties can rise in the elections. In contrast, Saleh Abdel Jawad, a professor of political science at Birzeit University and Hani Habib, a political writer for Al-Ayyam newspaper said they are not expecting a great success for the left-wing, as it constitutes a small portion of the Palestinian society.

The local elections set for October were suspended on 8 September by the Palestinian High Court in Ramallah because of disputes between Hamas and Fatah, as well as a legal challenge on behalf of Palestinians living in East Jerusalem who were not allowed to vote. Fatah considered this decision as an attempt to politicise the judiciary and refused to recognise such courts. On 10 January 2017, a presidential decree amended the Local Elections Law of 2005, thus forming a local elections court which was authorized to look into electoral appeals instead of courts of first instance. The decree however was rejected by Palestinian factions.
