Israel’s upcoming election carries significant consequences for the lives of Palestinians living under its control, as the outcome will determine policies affecting over 5.5 million individuals who lack voting rights in the process. With no direct representation in the political decisions shaping their daily realities, the choices made by Israeli voters could reshape governance, security measures, and long-term prospects for Palestinian communities. The stakes are high, as the election results may influence everything from settlement expansion to basic freedoms for those living in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. For Palestinians, the ballot box remains closed, leaving their future in the hands of others.
How Israel votes this month will shape the future of over 5.5 million Palestinians who have no say in the election.
