Prospects of Netanyahu returning to power in Israel prompt concerns among Palestinians who say they fear it maybe a prelude to further escalation of conflict
"It is clear that the Israelis are leaning towards more extremism, which also means aggression against our people would increase," Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem says.
More than 100 Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank have been killed by Israeli forces this year while a string of fatal street attacks by Palestinians has killed 20 people in Israel and Israeli settlements. Hamas, which has fought several wars with Israel over the last decade, predicted the results meant more potential violence.
A spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Palestinian Authority exercises limited autonomy over Palestinian towns and cities in the occupied West Bank, declined to comment on the preliminary election results, saying they would await the final outcome.
