Palestinian FM's Warning On Israel Elections: “Changing Faces Won’t Change Policies"

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian has cautioned against expecting major policy shifts from Israel’s election, warning that a change in leadership may not ease Palestinian suffering. In an interview, she highlighted the exclusion of more than five million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank from Israeli elections, despite the decisions’ potential impact on their lives. Aghabekian also questioned whether greater representation for Arab lawmakers in Israel’s parliament would translate into meaningful political change.
