‘Like we don’t exist’: Palestinians in West Bank denied say in Israel vote

In Jabal al-Baba, a small Bedouin community in the occupied West Bank, Israel controls nearly every aspect of Palestinian daily life, including building homes and movement. On October 27, most of the nearly three million Palestinians in the West Bank will have no say in the Israeli elections, unlike the 700,000 Jewish settlers living in illegal settlements. Community representative Atallah al-Jahalin describes Palestinians as being treated as non-existent and highlights ongoing restrictions and demolitions imposed by Israeli authorities.
