Palestinians see little hope in Israel's election, whoever wins
IN war-ravaged Gaza and the occupied West Bank, many Palestinians were less focused on who would win Israel’s election than on whether anything would really change.
In Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinians are largely indifferent to who wins Israel's election, focusing more on whether any change is likely. Huda al-Houli, a displaced resident of Gaza, fears a worse leader could emerge. Ahmed Awad in the West Bank also doubts any significant policy shift. Netanyahu's camp leads but lacks a majority, leaving uncertainty.
The election follows years of right-wing rule and the 2023 Hamas attack. If Netanyahu stays in power, he is expected to maintain the current path. A government led by Eisenkot could ease tensions, but Oppenheim warns of no major changes in statehood or peace process. Some remain hopeful, but many have low expectations for a different government.
