Palestinians voted Saturday in municipal elections across the West Bank and in Gaza's Deir al-Balah area, marking the first balloting in the territories since the October 2023 Israel-Hamas war began. With nearly 1.5 million registered voters in the West Bank and 70,000 in Gaza, the elections aim to elect local council members and reinforce Palestinian Authority authority, though many West Bank races feature only single unopposed lists.
