Story summary

The latest election outcomes in the United States and Israel have led to new leadership but no change in policies regarding Palestinian territories. Despite political shifts, Israeli settlement expansion continues on occupied Palestinian land, a situation that has persisted through multiple administrations in both countries. Al Jazeera's Leila Warah and Noor Wazwaz explore what drives this ongoing policy despite changes at the highest levels of government. The article emphasizes that the expansion of settlements in areas claimed by Palestinians remains consistent, indicating deep-rooted political inertia on the issue.
