Palestinians sidelined in Israel
The head of the National Democratic Assembly, Sami Abu Shehadeh, said that the Netanyahu bloc’s loss of its majority does not signal a shift in policies toward Palestinians. In his view, Israel’s political blocs are competing to adopt more extreme positions, while no serious plan exists to end the occupation and achieve equality. The Netanyahu bloc fell from 68 seats to 53, compared with 48 for the opposition’s Jewish parties and 19 for the two Arab lists. Abu Shehadeh attributed the result to the fragmentation of right-wing votes, higher turnout among Palestinians in Israel, and Netanyahu being held responsible for the failures exposed by the October 7, 2023 attack. He warned that the growing influence of the right and reliance on military solutions foreshadow more wars, stressing that changing the prime minister alone will not end the occupation and discrimination.
