Britain Palestine Project: What does Israel's election mean for Palestinians, and what can Britain do to bring about meaningful change?

Posted: 30th October 2026

Peace with justice, security and equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians

What does Israel’s election mean for Palestinians, and what can Britain do to bring about meaningful change?

In the latest episode of The Situation Report, Andrew Whitley and Sir Vincent Fean examine the aftermath of Israel’s closely contested election and its implications for Palestinians in Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza.

With Benjamin Netanyahu’s political future uncertain, they discuss:

• Israel’s election: Could a new government bring meaningful change, or simply a change in tone?
• Britain’s responsibility: What practical action can the UK take to challenge illegal settlements and uphold international law?
• The Palestinian economy: How can international partners respond to Israel’s withholding of Palestinian revenues?
• Regional tensions: The growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.
• The future of the UN and UNRWA: Why international leadership is urgently needed.
• A voice from Masafer Yatta: The forthcoming UK visit of Aziz Hathleen, brother of Awdeh Hathleen, who was killed by an Israeli settler in July 2025.

With Gaza facing another winter of humanitarian crisis and settlement expansion continuing in the West Bank, Andrew and Vincent ask what Britain and the international community must do to turn diplomatic statements into meaningful action.
