  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
