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. Netanyahu is ​campaigning on his wartime leadership and his alliance with US President Donald Trump, who has…

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 Latest: Israelis vote in a tense national 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. Emotions are running high as Israelis head to the polls In Kiryat Shmona, a Netanyahu stronghold near the border with Lebanon, a man kicked and tore down a poster of the prime minister's leading rival, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot. In Tel Aviv, some families of those killed in the…

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…
