Al Jazeera NewsFeed’s Oct. 25 video looks at settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian territory alongside political transitions in Israel and the United States, as voters prepare to choose Knesset party lists on Oct. 27.

Al Jazeera published the video on Oct. 25, featuring Leila Warah and Noor Wazwaz. Their segment places the policy’s durability in the context of political change in both countries.

The Central Elections Committee’s timetable sets voting for Tuesday, Oct. 27. The Knesset says voters choose party lists for its 120 seats. Parties then negotiate a governing coalition, which requires at least 61 seats for a majority.

An Oct. 14 Madad poll put both main blocs short of a majority and Arab-led parties at 15 seats. EconoTimes has previously covered the poll.

The Central Elections Committee has scheduled publication of official results for Nov. 4.
