Gaza absent from Israel election campaign as Palestinians fear post-vote escalation

Israel's election campaign has largely ignored the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where nearly 75,000 have been killed and a million displaced, as rivals Gadi Eisenkot and Benjamin Netanyahu both vow to end Hamas rule. Palestinians fear the outcome will shape their future, with no candidate offering a path to de-escalation. The absence of Gaza from the campaign signals a hardening consensus across the political spectrum, likely leading to continued military operations regardless of the winner.
