Gaza crisis likely to persist after Israeli elections
The article discusses the possibilities for ending the Gaza Strip crisis after the upcoming Israeli elections on October 27, 2026. It explains that the current political process remains frozen on the ground despite agreements on paper, particularly regarding disarmament, Israeli withdrawals, and the presence of international peacekeeping forces. Political expert Sufian Abu Zaida attributes the deadlock to the failure to implement the agreed-upon commitments, especially the disagreement between Israel and the Palestinians over disarmament and withdrawal mechanisms. He notes that the U.S. administration's monitoring has so far shown a decline in applying strong pressure on the parties. He believes that the results of the Israeli elections could either open new opportunities to implement the American plan and advance the peace process if a government opposed to Netanyahu is formed, or maintain the status quo if that fails or if the U.S. administration remains hesitant to intervene decisively. This situation threatens to turn the crisis into a persistent state of paralysis, where the sector remains hostage to stalled security and political exchanges and a crippled reconstruction effort.
