Handwritten by Bassam ash-Shakʿa, this two-page article titled, "An Analysis and Clarification of a Post-Occupation Phase", addresses the Palestine municipal elections of 1972 and Israel's attempts in having municipalities implement its political policies. In the article, ash-Shakʿa discusses the formation of national lists under the slogan, "no to self-rule, yes to the liberation organization", and the role played by the municipalities on national, educational, economic and social levels despite the Israeli occupation's pressures, imposing the value-added tax, hiring workers to remove political signs and graffiti and preventing protests and demonstrations.
