Palestinian Policy Shift
The results of the Israeli election have not settled the political picture: Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats, compared with 48 for Eisenkot’s bloc, making the formation of a government dependent on alliances or support from other parties, including the Arab lists. Hani al-Masri argues that a government led by Eisenkot might be less hardline than a Netanyahu government on some issues, but would not change the essence of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians—including continued settlement expansion and managing the conflict rather than resolving it. The article concludes that ousting Netanyahu would be a defeat for Israel’s most extreme political current, not a transformation of the political project. It also notes that around 90 of the 120 members of the Knesset belong to the right or far right, and calls on Palestinians to pursue internal political and institutional change rather than pinning their hopes on the outcome of Israeli elections.
