Story summary

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed hope on October 29, 2026, that the formation of a new Israeli government would lead to resumed peace talks between Israel and Palestine. During a meeting with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides in Nicosia, Mr. Abbas stated his desire for security, stability, and peace between both nations. Following Israel's pivotal election, neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor the opposition led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot secured a parliamentary majority, potentially leading to weeks of coalition negotiations. The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has been stalled for years despite international recognition of Palestine as a state, and under Mr. Netanyahu’s leadership, settlement construction and violence against Palestinians have increased in the West Bank.
