Eisenkot Leads Netanyahu in Prime Ministerial Endorsements as Israeli Coalition Talks Remain Uncertain

Gadi Eisenkot is expected to secure 67 endorsements for prime minister, ahead of incumbent Benjamin Netanyahu, who is projected to receive 46, following the latest political consultations in Israel.

The Arab Joint List has thrown its support behind Eisenkot, while the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party has declined to endorse either candidate.

Despite the advantage, Eisenkot is not guaranteed a governing majority, leaving the formation of Israel's next government uncertain.

President Isaac Herzog will ultimately decide which candidate receives the mandate to form the next government.

Muslim Candidates Make Historic Gains in US Midterm Elections, With El-Sayed Set to Become First Muslim Senator

Muslim candidates have recorded historic gains in the US midterm elections, with Abdul El-Sayed leading the breakthrough after winning Michigan's open Senate seat, becoming the first Muslim elected to the US Senate.

El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American physician, defeated Republican Mike Rogers despite facing anti-Muslim attacks during the campaign.

Other notable victories include:
- Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian-American surgeon and Army veteran, becomes New Jersey's first Muslim member of Congress.
- Rashida Tlaib in Michigan and Ilhan Omar in Minnesota secured re-election to the House of Representatives.
- Aisha Wahab, an Afghan-American, is projected to win a full term in California.
- Aber Kawas became the first Palestinian-American elected to the New York State Legislature.
- Nabeela Syed flipped a Republican-held seat in the Illinois State Senate.
Muslim community outlets report that at least 36 Muslim candidates have won or are leading in federal, state and local races, with seven or eight expected to serve in Congress.

Many campaigned on affordability, civil rights and opposition to unconditional US military support for Israel, while several faced substantial campaign spending from pro-Israel groups.

The results mark a significant moment for Muslim and Arab-American political representation in the United States.

Trump's Internal Polling Reveals Iran War and Inflation Are Driving Republican Voters Away

Internal polling commissioned by US President Donald Trump's campaign has reportedly found that ending the Iran war and addressing inflation are the top priorities for Republican voters considering sitting out the midterm elections.

According to The New York Times, a survey conducted by Trump's chief pollster, Tony Fabrizio, two weeks before Election Day found that these two issues could persuade disengaged Republican voters to return to the party.

The poll also revealed that the MAGA Republican brand was viewed more unfavourably by voters than democratic socialists, highlighting growing political challenges for the Republican Party ahead of the elections.
