Palestine weekly: election deadlock, West Bank closures and Gaza violence
🤖 AI-generated content — The title and summary were produced automatically by artificial intelligence, without human editorial review.
After Israel’s inconclusive election, Arab-led parties won a record 19 seats as nearly 840,000 voted for Ra’am and the Joint List, up 64% from 2022. Adding them to Gadi Eisenkot’s bloc would give an anti-Benjamin Netanyahu coalition 67 seats; without them, only unity between Zionist blocs or another vote is likely. Likud claimed the election was “stolen” via unproven Qatari funding; Qatar denied it, police cited no widespread fraud, and Noam Sohlberg said the poll was proper. Avigdor Lieberman ruled out Palestinian partners; Eisenkot’s coalition terms clash with Palestinian parties on Jewish state recognition and mandatory national service, while Palestinians face West Bank closures and Gaza killings.
