Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, subject to Israeli military rule, have no voting rights in Israeli elections despite living under Israeli governance, Al Jazeera English reported. The territory's residents face restrictions on movement, settlement expansion, and access to resources, yet remain unable to participate in choosing the Israeli government that controls their lives.
West Bank Palestinians express little hope that Israel's upcoming election will alter their situation under occupation. They cannot vote in the electoral process that determines who governs the territory where they live.
