Israelis await final election results as difficult choices lie ahead

An Arab woman walks with a child next to a torn Likud party campaign ad featuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, with a Hebrew message reading "We have one opportunity to win," in Jerusalem, Oct. 28, a day after the elections in Israel. AP-Yonhap JERUSALEM — Israelis on Thursday waited for final election results to confirm what they see taking shape: No majority of parliament seats for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies, or for the array of parties seeking to unseat him. Difficult decisions lie in the weeks ahead, including whether some Jewish and Arab parties would team up in a historic alliance, or whether some parties that campaigned on ousting Netanyahu would toss that aside and join forces with the deeply divisive prime minister. While this plays out, Netanyahu remains in charge. Final results could come as early as Thursday…

Exit Polls Suggest No Clear Winner In Israel's Election, But Netanyahu Is Far From Defeated

An inconclusive result would leave Israel in political limbo after the country’s first national election since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. The exit polls suggested voters gave opponents of the current government a solid majority in the next parliament. But it’s not clear if those disparate parties — which include Arab-led factions who appear to have made a historic showing — are willing to form a coalition. If they are, it would likely take weeks of haggling. At an appearance early Wednesday, Netanyahu was upbeat and already trying to position himself to remain prime minister, listing off military achievements of the past three years. He called on his opponents to line up behind him and dismissed the idea of a partnership with Arab parties — whose constituents make up 20% of Israel’s population — as treasonous. “We must establish a strong, right-wing, nationalist government,” said…

9 Massachusetts ballot questions explained: What a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote means

Massachusetts voters will face a series of ballot questions covering everything from marijuana sales and election laws to government transparency, conservation, and housing. Ballot question wording can be complicated, so Boston 25 News is breaking down what each proposal would do and what a "yes" or "no" vote means. Here's a quick guide to nine of the questions Massachusetts voters will see, with links to our full explainers. Question 1 asks voters whether most records held by the Massachusetts Legislature and governor's office should become subject to the state's Public Records Law. A "yes" vote would expand the law to cover most records from those branches, while a "no" vote would leave the current law unchanged. Why it matters: Supporters say the change would increase transparency on Beacon Hill and give taxpayers more information about government decisions and spending. Why it…

Ilhan Omar’s Muslim husband ‘disgusted’ by ‘dirty dandy brother’ she wed coming to live with them: source

Ilhan Omar’s first husband was “embarrassed” when her effeminate “brother” — who she is accused of marrying — came to live with them in Minnesota, a family friend told The Post. The congresswoman (D-Minn.) had two young children with Ahmed Hirsi, when she suddenly split from him in 2009. She then quickly married an “extremely feminine Somali guy from London,” Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, fond of wearing short shorts with cowboy boots. She was able to do this as she had only been wed to Ahmed in a 2002 Islamic ceremony which was not recognized by the state. One of Hirsi’s close friends claimed Omar and her first husband were actually still together, and Elmi suddenly moving in caused strain on their relationship. The legal marriage was reportedly so he could get “papers” to start a new life in the US, as The Post has previously reported. “The whole community was gossiping about [Elmi] when he…
