Gaza watches Israel’s elections with fear and antipathy

Gaza City – For three years, Palestinians in Gaza have lived with the destruction of their cities and displacement from their homes. Israel’s genocidal war, which started in October 2023, has taken more than 70,000 lives and determined the fates of those who remain. On October 27, Israelis will vote in a national election that will determine the next government and shape the country’s policies on Gaza. Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank have no direct say in the vote, but many are closely following party campaigns, because the results might impact their lives.
