Palestinians vote in first municipal elections since Gaza war amid low turnout expectations

Palestinians in the West Bank and Deir El-Balah area of Gaza began voting Saturday in the first municipal elections since the Gaza war began. Nearly 1.5 million people are registered to vote in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with 70,000 in Gaza. The election features limited political competition with most lists aligned with President Mahmud Abbas's Fatah party or running as independents, while Hamas-affiliated lists are absent. Many cities have only one list submitted, automatically winning without a vote. The election is viewed by some as an exercise in demonstrating continued Palestinian existence rather than meaningful political change.

Spain urges EU to terminate Israel association agreement amid Gaza war criticism

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has urged the EU to terminate its association agreement with Israel, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government of committing genocide in Gaza and violating international law. Spain will formally propose the termination at Tuesday's EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg, requiring unanimity from all 27 member states. The proposal follows a letter from Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia accusing Israel of breaching the agreement through approval of the death penalty and settler violence in the West Bank.
