Gaza residents watch Israel’s election, fearing a Netanyahu win as airstrikes hit Khan Younis
Residents of Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis are closely watching Israel’s election. They hope that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loses but doubt a change in leadership will significantly improve their lives. Some favor challenger Gadi Eisenkot who supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza road map plan. Others see little difference between the candidates’ policies.
Israeli strikes in Khan Younis on Wednesday killed one Palestinian and wounded at least six others to underscore the residents' fears. Gaza health officials say Israeli forces have killed more than 1,550 Palestinians since the truce began in October 2025. Immediate concerns about food, shelter and security are top priorities for many residents.
