Therefore, we all – proud Jewish Zionist Israelis included – must encourage this part of the population – full citizens of the Jewish State of Israel – to exercise not only their lawful right to vote but their lawful right to sit in the Knesset, be in the governing coalition, and serve as government ministers. And we must accept them with open arms when they “flock” to do so.
This is the only viable, sustainable, and livable future for this country.
Raam, a Hebrew acronym for United Arab List, is a moderate Islamist party headed by Mansour Abbas. In 2021, he agreed to join a short-lived coalition of Netanyahu’s opponents, making Raam the first Arab party to join an Israeli government.
The far-left Joint List, led by Yousef Jabareen, brings together three parties with a mixture of communist and Palestinian nationalist leanings.
Abbas and Jabareen told AFP they were ready — under certain conditions — to cooperate with the opposition, particularly the bloc of Netanyahu’s main rival Gadi Eisenkot, which is polling neck and neck with the premier’s.
Paradoxically, it is the Joint List and the Islamist party Ra’am that hold the key to the opposition’s chances of dethroning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The polls could not be clearer: Without these Arab parties, the anti-Netanyahu bloc will not reach the 61 mandates required for a Knesset majority. With their support, it could topple Netanyahu — whose own bloc of loyalists looks set to fall significantly short of a majority — virtually overnight.
There are about 2.1 million Arab-Israelis, making up roughly 21% of the country’s population. Their interests tend to be represented by Ra’am and the Joint List, both of which have played a more prominent role in Israeli politics in recent years.
In the aftermath of the 2021 election, the Ra‘am party leader, Mansour Abbas, joined with opposition leaders from across the political spectrum to unseat Netanyahu. This made Ra’am the first independent Arab party to join an Israeli coalition.
Naftali Bennett’s government collapsed after one year, opening the door for Netanyahu to return.
Three years after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza, Israeli voters will decide next Tuesday whether to grant Benjamin Netanyahu yet another term as prime minister — or usher in a new era of Israeli politics.
Polling suggests a tight race between Netanyahu, leader of the nationalist Likud party, and his chief rival, Gadi Eisenkot, who leads the centrist Yashar!, for control of the government.
The State Department has ordered some diplomats and family members to depart from its missions in Saudi Arabia and is drawing up plans for further withdrawals from other embassies. Reports also said the Pentagon was pulling American troops from bases in the region.
“Israel’s election is not a single game, but a tournament — and election day is only the opening round,” Dr Nimrod Nir of Agam Labs told The Independent.
“Our polling suggests that neither bloc is likely to secure a governing majority, leaving three possible outcomes: a unity government bringing Netanyahu together with more liberal parties, an alternative coalition backed by Arab parties, or yet another election.
Every PHP version released in the last decade is affected by at least one of these vulnerabilities, going back to version 5.4. Attackers can exploit them remotely, in some cases fairly easily. Immediate patching is strongly advised.
On October 21, 2026, PHP released the patch fixing multiple memory-safety vulnerabilities in the core engine.
These findings rank among the most severe vulnerabilities discovered in PHP, and arguably in software history.
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.

Merz sagte, die moralischen Maßstäbe in Deutschland gerieten „langsam ins Rutschen“. Die CDU werde sich damit nicht abfinden und auch das angehende Bündnis von SPD und Grünen mit der Linken in Berlin infrage stellen.
In Richtung von SPD und Grünen fragte der Kanzler, ob sie „wirklich und ernsthaft mit einer solchen Partei weitere Koalitionsgespräche führen“ wollten. Wer die politische Mitte stärken und die Demokratie schützen wolle, dürfe mit solchen „Linksradikalen“ keine Gespräche führen und schon gar keine Koalition eingehen, sagte Merz.
Tina Peters, a prominent MAGA election activist, met with Trump in October. She was convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, then freed this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence. Peters and her attorney, Peter Ticktin, also visited Trump at the White House in late June.
Ticktin, who is Trump’s childhood friend, was among the speakers on a Sept. 30 video call for MAGA election activists streamed on Rumble. They warned of widespread election security breaches they believe will hit in November, and they urgently pushed for remedies.
(September 23, 2026)
The way Ticktin sees it, there are three possible outcomes this fall. The first—a smooth election—won’t happen in his view because, he claims without evidence, Democrats already cheated in the primaries. The second is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. The last option is that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November 3. “Either martial law, or step aside,” he told us about Trump’s choices in the last scenario. When we asked about the prospect of riots if Trump tries to overturn the election results, Ticktin said he was not concerned. “Believe me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are,” he said.
Geschraubt und gewerkelt wird derzeit nicht nur an der Hochhausbaustelle am Berliner Alexanderplatz. Gegenüber, am sogenannten Haus der Statistik geht die Arbeit weiter, eine neue Landesregierung auf die Beine zu stellen.
They are eager to change the government
Hadash Party and Joint List chairman Prof. Yousef Jabareen has declared four central demands from the heads of the anti-Netanyahu bloc parties as a condition for negotiating support for an alternative government after the elections.
Among the demands: a plan to combat crime in the Arab sector, the development of Arab communities, a plan for young people, and a diplomatic horizon for establishing a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.
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.

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.

“The president says anything and Marco Rubio finds himself in a very difficult position to react to what he says,” says Andy Gómez, the former director of the Cuban and Cuban American Studies Institute at the University of Miami, who helped shape a policy proposal for U.S.-Cuba relations in the Obama era. “The scene is like a soap opera, a soap opera lived every day in Miami and in Cuba. There is a major global problem with the war with Iran, for which no solution is in sight; so Cuba has had to wait.”
Berlin wird nicht über Nacht eine andere Stadt. Aber Berlin soll schnell spüren, dass eine andere Politik begonnen hat.
Wenn die Berlinerinnen und Berliner mir am kommenden Sonntag ihr Vertrauen geben, werde ich als Regierende Bürgermeisterin die Möglichkeiten nutzen, die wir als Land haben. Handeln, wo wir handeln können. Entscheiden, was wir selbst entscheiden können. Und dort anfangen, wo Veränderung konkret werden kann.
Denn eine andere Politik braucht auch eine andere Zeit. Sie muss schneller sein, wenn die Menschen schon zu lange warten. Sie muss näher sein, wenn Politik zu weit weg erscheint. Und sie muss konkret sein, wenn Vertrauen verloren gegangen ist.
Anders sein muss anders spürbar sein. Bei der Miete. Auf der Straße. Im Kiez. Und im Roten Rathaus.
Nicht alles davon wird morgen erledigt sein. Aber das sind fünf Dinge, mit denen ich anfangen will.
Die Vergesellschaftungspläne der Linkspartei in Berlin schlagen hohe Wellen: Kanzler Merz will Enteignungen per Gesetz verbieten lassen. Die Bankenbranche mahnt, Investoren könnten verschreckt und Immobilienkredite teurer werden.
Die im Golf von Aden stationierte Marineeinheit Cheonghae schütze bereits Seewege und südkoreanische Staatsbürger vor Bedrohungen wie Piraterie, erklärte Lee. Die Regierung prüfe ernsthaft eine Verstärkung dieses Einsatzes.
Report: President Lee Jae Myung did not rule out the possible deployment of South Korean troops to the region, but he cautiously set limits on what Seoul can do.
“When the future of humanity is at stake, we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control,” Sanders said.
The US Senator further said: “At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.”
Jede Kriegführung gründet auf Täuschung. Wenn wir also fähig sind anzugreifen, müssen wir unfähig erscheinen; wenn wir unsere Streitkräfte einsetzen, müssen wir inaktiv scheinen; wenn wir nahe sind, müssen wir den Feind glauben machen, daß wir weit entfernt sind; wenn wir weit entfernt sind, müssen wir ihn glauben machen, daß wir nahe sind.
Lege Köder aus, um den Feind zu verführen. Täusche Unordnung vor und zerschmettere ihn. Wenn der Feind in allen Punkten sicher ist, dann sei auf ihn vorbereitet. Wenn er an Kräften überlegen ist, dann weiche ihm aus. Wenn dein Gegner ein cholerisches Temperament hat, dann versuche ihn zu reizen.
Gib vor, schwach zu sein, damit er überheblich wird. Wenn er sich sammeln will, dann lasse ihm keine Ruhe. Wenn seine Streitkräfte vereint sind, dann zersplittere sie. Greife ihn an, wo er unvorbereitet ist, tauche auf, wo du nicht erwartet wirst.
Der General, der eine Schlacht gewinnt, stellt vor dem Kampf im Geiste viele Berechnungen an. Der General, der verliert, stellt vorher kaum Berechnungen an. So führen viele Berechnungen zum Sieg und wenig Berechnungen zur Niederlage – überhaupt keine erst recht! Indem ich diesem Punkt Aufmerksamkeit widme, kann ich voraussagen, wer siegen
oder unterliegen wird.
(…)
Die Ordnung unter dem Mantel der Unordnung zu verstecken ist einfach eine Frage der Unterteilung; den Mut in scheinbarer Verzagtheit zu verbergen setzt schlummernde Energie voraus; Stärke mit Schwäche zu maskieren ist eine Folge von taktischen Erwägungen.
Wer also das Geschick besitzt, den Feind in Atem zu halten, baut Täuschungen auf, die den Feind zum Handeln veranlassen. Er opfert etwas, damit der Feind danach greift. Indem er Köder auslegt, hält er ihn in Bewegung; und mit einer Truppe Schwerbewaffneter lauert er ihm auf.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first – they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

Despite being invented by thinking humans, technology is advancing faster than we could have ever predicted. From robot apps to nanotechnologies, the documentary „Un Monde sans Humains ?“ („A World Beyond Humans ?“) by Philippe Borrel gives an insight into the potential excesses of technoscience. Machines have become omnipresent, but is improving our lives their only objective ?
These warnings are at the heart of this investigative documentary‘s reflection, at a cross-section of huge financial stakes, powerful lobbies and people who are sounding today‘s alarm bells. The fusion between man and machine has already started and it is high time to question where exactly does man stand in this race for progress !
