以色列總統赫佐格授權尼坦雅胡政敵艾森科特組閣,但因各陣營席次未過半且黨派分歧嚴重,外界普遍看衰其能成功組成穩定政府,若失敗恐由尼坦雅胡接手或迎來重新大選。

以色列10月27日大選無任何陣營在120席國會掌握過半,右翼聯盟獲53席,最大在野陣營獲48席。
以色列總統赫佐格今天優先授權總理尼坦雅胡的政敵艾森科特組閣,但目前各項條件顯示難度極高。若艾森科特失敗,很可能又會是尼坦雅胡組閣甚至重新大選。
以色列10月27日大選,結果沒有任何陣營能在120席國會掌握過半。現任總理尼坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)領導的右翼聯盟獲53席,前參謀總長艾森科特(Gadi Eisenkot)領導的最大在野陣營48席;兩個阿拉伯政黨則斬獲新高19席,成為牽動政局走向的關鍵少數。
紐約時報指出,以色列總統赫佐格(Isaac Herzog)表示,他在做出決定前已分別與尼坦雅胡及艾森科特深談。經過去一週政黨協商後,支持艾森科特組閣的國會議員人數最終多於尼坦雅胡,因此赫佐格決定任命中間偏右、66歲的艾森科特先負責組閣。
艾森科特最多有6週時間籌組執政聯盟,期限屆滿後若無法完成,總統可將組閣機會交給另一候選人,最有可能接手者還是尼坦雅胡。
紐時分析,擺在艾森科特眼前的難題是若要湊足過半席次,他勢必得與阿拉伯政黨合作,但他的陣營內部一些右翼猶太政黨已表態絕不加入要靠阿拉伯政黨幫忙組成的政府。此外,艾森科特先前開出的一些合作條件,包括要求公開將哈瑪斯(Hamas)定性為恐怖組織,目前仍未獲阿拉伯政黨接受。
路透社分析,艾森科特有3條組閣途徑,但恐都困難重重。一是籌組少數政府,並爭取兩個阿拉伯政黨在不入閣的情況下從外部支持關鍵政策;二是拉攏極端正統派政黨,但他們以信仰為由拒絕青年男子服役,艾森科特陣營則堅持極端正統派也必須當兵,此外,極端正統派也一向是尼坦雅胡所屬聯合黨(Likud)長年盟友。
第三則是與尼坦雅胡組閣,但艾森科特競選的一大政見正是終結尼坦雅胡統治。分析人士認為,3種方案都不太可能實現。
如艾森科特組閣失利,以色列總統預計將轉而提名尼坦雅胡接手組閣,屆時尼坦雅胡可能藉由從在野陣營個別挖角,而過去他也有過成功先例。

The Democratic Party won a big victory in the U.S. midterm elections, taking control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Jefferies, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives, is expected to become the speaker of the House of Representatives and expressed "absolute support" in impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his power and undermining national security. Republican Congressman Massie plans to introduce an impeachment resolution as soon as the 9th. The Democrats hold 254 seats in the House of Representatives, exceeding the 218-seat threshold required to pass articles of impeachment, but they still lack a two-thirds majority in the Senate and need to win support from Republicans.

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was indicted on November 6 for violating the National Security Law and the Corruption Offenses Regulations and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The case involved accepting funds from the CCP to develop organizations in Taiwan for more than 10 years, and its chief accountant Zhang Junjie was suspected of smuggling out of the country and absconding. The author criticized this as not just cross-strait exchanges, but the infiltration of the CCP's united front, threatening Taiwan's freedom and security.

DPP Taoyuan mayoral candidate Huang Shijie accepted an exclusive interview with the Times' "Digital Taiwan" and advocated that the next mayor should use Taoyuan's demographic dividend to attract talents, introduce industries, and promote the progress of the aviation city. He questioned the current mayor Zhang Shanzheng’s support for Chiang Kai-shek’s proposal to relocate Songshan Airport and build an AI park on its original site. He believed that the AI park should come to Taoyuan, and the relocation of Songshan Airport would affect Taoyuan Airport’s traffic routes and outlying island evacuation medical services. Analyzing the "ocean current" phenomenon, Tam Yiu-nam believes that politicians of the new generation use this to reconnect with voters.

Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Generation Community Association, criticized Wang Hongwei and Jiang Wanan's supporters for bullying the "Yu Yi Cun" dumpling shop.

He also listed the one-star review incidents of Dongfa Hao and Jinfeng Braised Pork Rice, and compared them with Shen Boyang's approach to restraining supporters.
