Israel faces elections amid Gaza war and rights disputes
What it means
Israel calls October elections as Hamas still controls parts of Gaza. Palestinian detainees face abuse, Red Cross access is banned, and a hospital director remains jailed without trial.
Why it matters
The election will judge Netanyahu's war conduct, while ongoing rights violations and settler violence challenge international law and Israel's democratic institutions.
