Palestinian Journalist to Qodsna:
Palestinians Want Netanyahu’s Gov't to Be Ousted

Qodsna – Dawoud Kuttab, a Palestinian journalist and former journalism professor at Princeton University in the United States, has stressed that the outcome of elections in the Israeli-occupied territories is of great importance to Palestinians, noting that a significant proportion of Palestinian citizens took part in the vote in the hope of seeing Benjamin Netanyahu’s government removed from power.

Speaking in a brief interview with the English-language service of the Quds News Agency (Qodsna), Kuttab said that nearly 80 percent of Palestinian citizens living in the occupied territories, including 10,000 residents of occupied Al-Quds and even Druze residents of the occupied Golan Heights, voted in the elections because they wanted Netanyahu’s right-wing government and Itamar Ben-Gvir to be ousted.

Commenting on the possibility of a new US-Israeli war against Iran, the Palestinian journalist said that warnings about such a conflict had been circulating for months, but no concrete action had been taken so far.

"I am doubtful that a full-scale war will take place," Kuttab said, adding that he believes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump have failed in their excessive demands and their refusal to heed recommendations and advice.
