Communist Party of Israel: Four Scenarios for Forming a New Government
The position of the Joint List
These are times that call for a stand to oust Netanyahu and his fascist allies. Therefore, despite the incitement and the racism, the Joint List recommended Eisenkot to the Israeli president for the latter do not have any excuse of calling for a unity government, and as a fulfillment of the will of over 500,000 Arab Palestinian and Jewish voters who wish to see Netanyahu ousted.
According to CPI and Hadash, toppling this government is a historic task. The danger posed by the Netanyahu-Ben-Gvir-Smotrich government goes beyond discrimination, home demolitions and the spread of crime and racism afflicting our communities. It is a government of war, extermination and displacement in Gaza, of deepening occupation and settlement, of unchecked settler terror in the West Bank, and of a drive to liquidate the Palestinian cause. Its continuation threatens the whole region, and the presence of President Trump in the White House raises the danger further by offering cover for war, annexation and displacement. Hence, the results of the midterm elections in the US could hold positive prospectives regarding an alternation in US foreign policy especially in matters of supporting Israel’s continuous violations of international law in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the region.
Nach Parlamentswahl in Israel: Demos für Einbindung der arabischen Parteien
Entscheidend könnten nun also die arabischen Listen werden: Die sicherten sich bei der Parlamentswahl zusammen 19 Sitze – so viele wie noch nie. „67 Mandate für Veränderung“ war auch einer der Slogans der Demonstrierenden – denn ein Bündnis von Eisenkots Block mit den israelisch-arabischen Parteien käme auf 67 Abgeordnete.
Thousands rally in Israel urging ‘Jewish-Arab’ coalition to oust Netanyahu
Thousands of people have rallied in Tel Aviv to urge the Israeli opposition to make a deal with Arab parties to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Protesters at Saturday’s rally told the AFP news agency this may be the “last chance for real change” and that Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, is a “great manipulator”.

Declaration of Israel‘s Independence 1948
WE DECLARE that, with effect from the moment of the termination of the Mandate being tonight, the eve of Sabbath, the 6th Iyar, 5708 (15th May, 1948), until the establishment of the elected, regular authorities of the State in accordance with the Constitution which shall be adopted by the Elected Constituent Assembly not later than the 1st October 1948, the People‘s Council shall act as a Provisional Council of State, and its executive organ, the People‘s Administration, shall be the Provisional Government of the Jewish State, to be called „Israel“.
THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
Jabareen: Continuation of Netanyahu or a Jewish-Arab partnership
Joint List Chairman, Prof. Yousef Jabareen, said this morning (Wednesday, October 28) that the list is ready to assist in replacing the far right-wing government. “Netanyahu has continued to incite against the Arab public, and therefore we say clearly today: it is either the continuation of racism, exclusion, and supremacy—or a true Jewish-Arab partnership,” Jabareen said.
“We are also saying: whoever wants to offer a substantive and real alternative to Netanyahu’s bloody government will have to talk to us to pave the way for the change that the public in Israel is hoping for. Yes, we are ready to pave the way for Netanyahu’s ouster,” the leading Hadash activist emphasized.
When will the new Parliament be constituted and the Government formed? These are the legal deadlines
The session is convened by the president of the National Assembly from the previous parliamentary term and must be held no later than 30 days after the election results are officially announced. Once the mandates of at least two-thirds of all members of parliament have been confirmed, the new National Assembly is considered constituted, and the mandate of the previous parliamentary term comes to an end.
The deadline for constituting the National Assembly is 30 days from the publication of the final election results. The deadline for forming a new government is 90 days from the constitution of the National Assembly
In Serbia, a very different student movement just ousted another European strongman
It resulted in a “decentralized yet highly coordinated nature,” they added. “This mobilization is leaderless by design. Student assemblies operate on a horizontal model, organizing nightly plenary meetings to propose, debate, and vote on tactics.”
That may have worked well in the face of an authoritarian state; there were no leaders to arrest. But it will be hard to transform into government.
Yair Golan accuses Netanyahu of plotting fresh Iran strikes to serve ‘political and personal considerations’
Yair Golan, the leader of the Democrats in Israel, has condemned Prime Minister Netanyahu following allegations that the premier planned fresh strikes against Iran just weeks before the upcoming Knesset elections.
Netanyahu ‚completely lacks legitimacy‘ to launch new war ahead of elections: Opposition leader Golan
His remarks came after The Financial Times reported that US President Donald Trump had rejected Netanyahu‘s plan to strike infrastructure and nuclear facilities in Iran, a military campaign that was reportedly set to begin on Oct. 10.
Trump opposes any military escalation ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm congressional elections in the US, fearing negative repercussions for the Republican Party‘s electoral prospects, according to the report.
Golan, also a former deputy chief of staff of the Israeli army, said in a post on US social media platform X: „Netanyahu is a sick and weak leader clinging to power by force, willing to put Israel‘s security at risk to save himself.“
After three disastrous years, Israel needs to rethink itself. A new government would be a start
The two issues the opposition has highlighted are understandably important to Israelis. For so many citizens, the disaster of 7 October and subsequent two-year hostage crisis became a crisis of faith in the state itself. Without accountability through an independent inquiry, society cannot move on. And even staunch supporters of peace cannot tolerate the rank injustice of some citizens serving and dying in wars while others are systematically let off the hook.
But what then? Israel’s war in response to 7 October has continued to devastate Palestinian society. But the past few years have damaged Israel internally as well.
Israel‘s election is near, and I dare to hope for a future without Netanyahu
For a glimpse of the political culture I hope we can leave behind, consider the case of Ofer Winter, a former senior Israeli military commander who has found himself at odds with Netanyahu and his political allies. Winter is now complaining that they are treating him in ways he recognizes from stories about the mafia.
To that, I have only one response: Welcome to the club.
Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms
(March 26, 2026)
Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the president’s party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.
Gas Prices Could Cost Republicans the Midterms
(September 14, 2026)
If Democrats manage to take back the House and Senate in November despite an inhospitable electoral map, the Trump effect on gas prices may well be the reason.
AI Under Control
Bring the World Along
• International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.
• No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.
Safeguards Everyone Can Count On
• Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.
• Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.
• Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.
• Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.
• Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

Auf dem Weg zu einem multipolaren Parteiensystem
Nach den Landtagswahlen 2026 zeichnet sich das Ende der politischen Mitte ab. Aus ihrem Zerfall könnte ein neues Parteiensystem hervorgehen – mit mehr Parteien, breiteren Bündnissen und experimentelleren Regierungen.
Staat und Volk haben das Grundgesetz nicht verdient. Sie haben es nötig.
(June 22, 2021)
Nochmals – aus meiner Sicht ist folgende grundlegende Erkenntnis nötig:
„Weder wollen die Deutschen denken, noch können sie es. Auch wollen sie weder eine Demokratie, noch können oder begreifen sie diese.
Genau das ist der allerbeste Grund sie ihnen unbedingt zu erhalten.“
Gerade wenn und weil sich die Deutschen – das seid auch Ihr – sich alle paar Jahre wieder und wieder und wieder den letzten Dreck zusammenwählen und zu dumm sind die einfachsten Selbstverständlichkeiten einer Demokratie organisiert zu bekommen – z.B. neue Parteien zu gründen weil die bestehenden Verräter oder Müll sind – ist das der allerbeste Grund Euch dieses Recht unbedingt zu erhalten.
Nichts wird besser, wenn man den Menschen die Demokratie wegnimmt – gerade den Deutschen. Nichts. Weimar, aber auch die letzten 16 Jahre Einheitsregierung und Demokratie-Simulation, dürften dazu ausrechend Beleg sein.

‘The Fight Has Just Begun’: Angie Nixon Delivers Shocking Upset Win in Florida
In a surprise upset described variously as “stunning” and “a shocker” in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.
Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.
Angie For Florida
What Led To This Moment
Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantis’s unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experience—watching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families first—not greedy billionaires.

MAGA Trump critics Greene, Massie, Carlson meet, tout new ‚movement‘
(today)
Carlson said in a recent interview that „I’m going to help build a third party.“ Democrats and Republicans are in „lockstep“ on war in the Middle East and other issues, Carlson said, adding the government should focus on „the welfare of its own people.“
Greene previously said she is „in talks“ to launch a new party.
„I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans,“ Greene said on „Piers Morgan Uncensored,“ while also acknowledging the difficulties of creating a third party.
We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported, Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.

Former Georgia Rep. MTG, Tucker Carlson Signal Third-Party Ambitions Following GOP Split
Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former cable news host Tucker Carlson have signaled plans to form a new political party, citing growing dissatisfaction with the Republican Party and current U.S. foreign policy.
In a social media post on Saturday, Greene shared a photograph of a meeting featuring herself, her husband Brian Glenn, Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Massie’s wife, and Joe Kent.
Marjorie Taylor Greene teams up with Tucker Carlson as Trump rift fuels political party push: ‘Betrayed us all’
Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has shared a new photo with Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie and Joe Kent, adding fresh momentum to discussions about launching a new political party.
Greene posted the picture on X and said the group had come together because they believe President Donald Trump has broken one of his biggest campaign promises. Her post comes weeks after Carlson publicly said he was helping build a third party.
The latest meeting has again raised questions about whether the group plans to turn those talks into a formal political movement.
