WorldIsrael election: What could each outcome mean for Palestinians?

Israel’s October 27 election will determine who governs, while more than 5.5 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza have no vote despite being directly affected. Analysts describe three scenarios— a Netanyahu-led victory, an opposition majority or a deadlock—with differing consequences for settlement expansion, the Gaza blockade and the prospects of Palestinian statehood. Like Netanyahu, most opposition figures oppose a two-state solution.
