Israel's president tasks Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government after deadlocked election

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:32:13 GMT

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Saturday night he intended to task Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief, with forming a government, according to the Guardian, after the October 27 election left neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition with a Knesset majority. Fox News reported Eisenkot secured 67 Knesset endorsements to Netanyahu's 46. Eisenkot has 28 days to assemble a coalition, Deutsche Welle reported; DW and others noted his alliance is short of a majority and may depend on Arab-majority parties and on talks with ultra-Orthodox parties, which the Washington Post said would likely require him to revisit pledges on universal conscription. Israel's new parliament was sworn in on Tuesday, France 24 and Khaleej Times reported, with Le Monde reporting Eisenkot promised reforms "as fast as possible." Vedomosti reported Netanyahu said Likud must lead the government.

The strike is Spain's first since 2012, NPR, the South China Morning Post, Die Zeit, tagesschau Ausland, the Financial Times and Süddeutsche Zeitung report. Strikers are demanding government action on housing affordability and, per France 24, Die Zeit and tagesschau Ausland, wages and purchasing power.

The South China Morning Post and Le Monde report delays in public transport and slowdowns in factories; tagesschau Ausland reports restrictions on traffic and several arrests.

Nine Kennedy family members join lawsuit against Trump's planned Washington arch

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:59:32 GMT

Nine members of the Kennedy family have asked a federal judge to let them join a lawsuit against the construction of a triumphal arch in Washington proposed by US President Donald Trump, RBC reports. According to Le Monde and Libération, the complaint states the arch would block the view of the Kennedy graves and John F. Kennedy's eternal flame at Arlington cemetery and cast a permanent shadow over the burials and memorials there. The Guardian reports the arch is planned at 250ft and would be topped with a winged figure; Der Spiegel reports it as a 76-metre monument. Die Zeit reports that a court recently blocked the planned start of construction. Al Jazeera describes the family's motion as aimed at stopping an "unlawful" plan.

US judge allows Trump's $10bn defamation lawsuit against BBC to proceed

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 16:46:24 GMT

A federal judge in the US, Jeffrey T Kuntz, ruled on Tuesday that Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against the BBC can proceed, denying in part the broadcaster's motion to dismiss, according to the Guardian and BBC News. Trump's $10bn suit stems from the BBC splicing together comments he made before the 6 January US Capitol attack in a Panorama documentary, the Guardian reports; Le Monde says Trump accuses the BBC of a misleading video edit. BBC News reports the court dismissed another part of the suit alleging the BBC violated a Florida law. South China Morning Post reports Trump sought at least US$5 billion each for a defamation claim and a separate claim under a Florida consumer protection law. The Hindu reports Kuntz said Trump had plausibly alleged the broadcaster damaged his reputation and knew or should have known the clip was misleading.
