ハーレツ紙の8日の報道によると、ネタニヤフ氏は23年9月下旬、アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)のムハンマド大統領と電話会談。その際、ムハンマド氏からハマスが地域の安定を損なうような「大規模な作戦」を計画しているという情報を伝えられた。
ムハンマド氏は、パレスチナ自治区ガザ出身の大統領顧問が得た情報を精査した上、伝達したとされる。しかし、ネタニヤフ氏はハマスがガザではなくヨルダン川西岸で作戦を行うと判断。会談では「あらゆるシナリオに備えている」と反応するにとどめ、情報は軍や治安機関に共有されなかったという。
ハマスの奇襲を巡っては、これまでに当時の軍や情報機関の幹部が引責辞任を表明。一方、ネタニヤフ氏は自らの責任をあいまいにしたままだ。

Although the Centrist Reform Alliance decided to disband the party, it has indicated that it will continue to exist for the time being, leaving one lawmaker in place in order to receive approximately 1.1 billion yen in party subsidies. Representative Junya Ogawa explains that the purpose of the move is to pay for the House of Representatives election, but there are voices on social media pointing out the contradiction with the Liberal Democratic Party's criticism of slush funds, making it unclear whether they will gain understanding amid soaring prices. The Constitutional Democratic Party-affiliated party was to form a new party, and the Komeito-affiliated party was to rejoin the party, but because they are considered a "split faction" under the Political Party Subsidy Act and cannot receive unfunded funds, they have decided to postpone ``splitting (splitting),'' which would take a long time to complete.

Vice President Vance delivered the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, pledging victory in the November midterm elections. Vance, who is considered a leading candidate for the 2028 presidential election, has an opportunity to raise his profile within the party, but there is also the risk that he will be held accountable depending on the election results. In his speech, he talked about his experiences growing up in a poor family and expressed his frustration at being called a racist. On the other hand, Secretary of State Rubio, who is expected by traditional conservatives, did not participate due to overseas travel, and his absence was conspicuous. Participants were asked both about their support for Mr. Vance and their liking for Mr. Rubio.

The government and ruling party have announced that, in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut starting in April next year, they will create special and transitional measures for things such as changing price tags and pre-order sales at retail stores. However, with such a short preparation period, the system could become complicated, leading to confusion among business operators and consumers. Support for agriculture, forestry and fisheries workers and the restaurant industry has also been raised as an issue.

It is expected that personnel changes to the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Councilors will be made soon in line with the cabinet reshuffle and personnel changes to LDP executives. The focus is on the treatment of House of Councilors Secretary-General Junichi Ishii, and it is said that his feud with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is behind this. However, House of Councilors personnel affairs are considered a ``sanctuary'' beyond the prime minister's authority, and House of Councilors Chairman Seiji Matsuyama holds the actual authority over personnel affairs. Mr. Ishii is well-versed in the management of the Diet and has created the Diet calendar, known as the ``Ishii Calendar,'' but reportedly had a rift with the prime minister over budget deliberations at the special session of the Diet. Mr. Ishii revealed to those involved that he said, ``I don't care which way I go. If I am removed, I will have no role.''
