Palestinians in Gaza fear the outcome of Israel's election as the territory's suffering is largely absent from the campaign

Summary

Israel is preparing to go to the polls, and Palestinians in Gaza are bracing for an outcome that could shape their future, according to The Guardian. The paper reports that the territory, where Israeli military action has reduced much of the land to rubble and killed nearly 75,000 people, has been largely absent from the election campaign. Rivals Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu both vow to end Hamas rule. Nearly a million displaced Palestinians in Gaza face dire sanitary conditions, water shortages and the constant threat of Israeli strikes.
