Israelis await final election results as Netanyahu remains far from defeated

Giovanna Dell'Orto And Cara Anna JERUSALEM – Anxious Israelis watched as election results took shape on Wednesday after voters delivered a rebuke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’s far-right government, with the highest turnout in over a quarter-century. Exit polls suggested no clear winner and that weeks of negotiating could lie ahead. Arab-led factions appear to have made a historic showing, but it's not clear if opponents of the government, who exit polls suggested have a solid majority in the next parliament, are willing to form a coalition with them. Issues around the Palestinians and their descendants remain incredibly sensitive in Israel. Netanyahu was defiant early Wednesday as he tried to position himself to remain the country's longest-serving prime minister, praising Israel’s military achievements of the past three years. He dismissed the idea of a partnership with Arab…

Midterm Elections: How Trump's 'Little Detour' To Iran Became A Roadblock

Noor Dubow says he regularly votes for Republican candidates he believes align with his economic views — even though he’s never been a fan of Donald Trump, finding himself repelled by some of the president’s dehumanizing rhetoric toward immigrants. But this year, when Dubow cast his early ballot in the midterm election, he found himself tipping more toward Democrats because of his frustration with Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran. “Where are the Republicans in Congress?" asked Dubow, 44, a dispatcher at a trucking logistics firm in Columbus, Ohio, where he has a bird’s-eye view of the disruption that surging fuel prices are having on the economy. “Why aren’t the Republicans holding Trump accountable?" High energy costs and voter fatigue over the nearly 8-month-old war — one Trump predicted at the onset would last a matter of weeks — are weighing heavily on Republican candidates.…

The Latest: Israelis vote in a tense election seen as a referendum on Netanyahu

Israelis were voting Tuesday in a tense national election widely seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the wars that have since shaken the Middle East. Israelis vote for parties, which then form alliances to create a majority coalition. No single party has ever won a 61-seat majority in the 120-member parliament, or Knesset. Opinion polls suggest a tight race, with no clear winner expected, setting the stage for weeks or even months of negotiations among around a dozen parties expected to win seats in the Knesset.

Missing data hides true reality of deep racism problems

Australians' experiences of racism are being erased because of a failure to adequately collect and use data, the human rights watchdog says. A report by the Australian Human Rights Commission has found data on race and racism in the nation is fragmented or collected inconsistently. This means people's experiences of racism were severely under-counted or erased, and made the "critical problem" harder to tackle, Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman said. "We're missing so much of the picture at the moment," Mr Sivaraman told AAP. "Racist violence is on our streets in the worst possible way. "Yet we still don't have good means of collecting data on where racism is occurring, who it is affecting, and what solutions will work best." He said data on racism was gathered in a piecemeal way from a combination of police reports, work by community organisations or complaints filed…
