Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank hope that Israel's upcoming election will remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office. The New York Times reports that many of them are desperate to avoid several more years under his right-wing government.
According to the newspaper, life under this government has become close to unbearable for Palestinians. For that reason, the Israeli vote, in which they cannot take part themselves, looks decisive to them.
The election matters beyond Israel's borders. Its outcome will determine whether Netanyahu's government stays in power or other forces take over. The source excerpt gives no further details on the vote itself, the candidates or polling.
