Netanyahu Faces Key Election

JALUD, West Bank (AP) — Tuesday’s elections could end Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political career. But his legacy in the occupied West Bank will likely endure. Over the last four years, his government has massively expanded Israeli settlements, displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians and empowered extremist settlers. His opponents promise to dismantle the most contentious settler outposts and rein in the violence. But they largely support Israel’s broader settlement enterprise and are opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state in territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
