Netanyahu's political survival on the line as Israel votes

By Steven Scheer and Pesha Magid JERUSALEM, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a fight for political survival in Israel's election on Tuesday, with voters weighing his leadership after the 2023 Hamas-led attacks, wars in Gaza and with Iran, and Israel's deepening international isolation. Yet Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving leader with 19 ‌years in office, remains a formidable survivor, with nationalist politics increasingly entrenched and Israel's fragmented system potentially leaving him best placed to form a government. Opinion polls show ‌a close race between Netanyahu's Likud party and its right-wing allies and a rival alliance led by Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief of staff and security hawk with backers on the right and in the centre.

Trump administration asks Washington to set aside ballots from 400 voters it says may be noncitizens

By GENE JOHNSON and REBECCA BOONE, Associated Press The announcement is the latest sign of the administration’s attempts to sow doubts about the election or its outcome in states with races that will help determine control of the U.S. Senate and House. At a news conference, Neil Floyd, the acting U.S. attorney in Seattle, said he believed the 405 voters identified so far represented “the tip of the iceberg.” “Because of limitations the state has placed on our investigation, we’ve only been able to uncover a fraction of the total number,” he said. Hobbs said he was reviewing the DOJ’s request. His office noted that the data shared by the department included the last time each of the 405 people voted. One was in 1994. “The timing of this request — one week before the General Election — is no doubt intended to cast unfounded suspicion on the results,” Hobbs said. Much of the list was built…

The key issues shaping Israel's election

Jerusalem (AFP) – When Israel goes to the polls on Tuesday, voters will weigh in on military conscription, the economy and how the state should investigate its failure to prevent Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack. Issued on: 27/10/2026 - 03:18 AFP looks at the key issues that have shaped the campaign. Many Israelis have demanded an independent state commission of inquiry into the failures that allowed Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 people. The deadliest day in Israel's history, it inflicted a profound national trauma whose repercussions continue to be felt. Israel has launched commissions of inquiry after previous national crises, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's main challenger in the upcoming poll, ex-army chief Gadi Eisenkot, has pledged to do so again, calling it "a way to prevent the next disaster". But Netanyahu's government…

France promises to replace university admissions system

World France promises to replace university admissions system Published : Oct. 27, 2026 - 10:44:58 France’s government pledged Monday to replace its national online university admissions platform by 2028, seeking to quell student anger after weeks of often violent mass protests over education and living costs. Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste announced “substantial change” to the platform for 2027, before its replacement the following year. Ministers also pledged up to 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) in low-interest loans for school renovations, alongside smaller classes, additional teaching posts, more places in higher education and increased student grants. The concessions target the school grievances that helped ignite the unrest. But the movement has widened to include workers demanding relief from rising living costs, making the government’s task broader than resolving a…
