The article, published by Palestine Online, discusses the Israeli occupation's use of the pre-election period, scheduled for October 27, as a cover to extend the genocide in Gaza and evade international commitments. It notes that the US administration adopts this narrative, with Washington envoy Jared Kushner describing the period as 'crazy' during which Israel might take unexpected actions. The article cites the early recovery plan announced by the Peace Council worth $2.5 billion for six months as part of a broader $32 billion plan, linking its implementation to the timing of the Israeli elections. It reviews polls showing Likud under Netanyahu declining behind the rising 'Yashar' party led by former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, with one late August poll giving 'Yashar' 26 seats versus 20 for Likud, with neither bloc reaching the 61-seat threshold. The article warns of a repeat of the 2019 extended political crisis scenario and calls for not waiting for election results and taking action to force Israel to comply with its pledges.
