Israel's Arab political party Ra'am Party recommended centrist opposition Gadi Eisenkot, former chief of staff, as its candidate for the next prime minister.

Experts predicted that with the Democratic Party taking control of both the House and Senate in the U.S. midterm elections, congressional checks on President Trump's tariff policy and reduction of U.S. troops stationed in Korea could be strengthened.

In the relationship between North Korea and the United States, it is possible that President Trump will put more effort into summit diplomacy with Chairman Kim Jong-un, but it is expected that there will be restrictions on negotiating cards such as easing sanctions against North Korea.
