And among those watching most closely are world leaders near and far. Of course, world leaders have generally stayed mum on the issue of which man they prefer – although I would wager that most favor the status quo over a return to the raucous years of Trump’s presidency. Some world leaders have already signaled their aversion to another Trump presidency. But for these foreign leaders, coming out against Trump is a move that is chock full of risks. The stakes in this election are too high for global leaders to stay mum.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged tensions with historical ally the U.S. over the military offensive in Rafah in the Gaza Strip, but stood firm that the operation is required to protect Israeli security. But we have to do what we have to do," Netanyahu said Wednesday, in an interview with CNBC's Sara Eisen. Over 1,200 people have been killed in Israel since October, according to Israel's prime minister's office. Meanwhile, more than 35,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian health ministry's latest official count. Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed that Washington could not endorse a Rafah military incursion in the absence of a "credible" plan to safeguard civilians.

US President Joe Biden (L) meets with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on October 18, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. The families want the government to take bold steps to free the hostages, fearing that Israel's military activity in Gaza further endangers their lives. Health authorities in Hamas-ruled Gaza say Israel's offensive has killed nearly 25,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. As part of its search for the hostages, Israel's military dropped leaflets on Gaza's southernmost town of Rafah. Israel's military didn't immediately comment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday warned that Israel's conflict with Palestinian militant group Hamas will not be a short-term engagement. Palestinian militant group Hamas said an Israeli airstrike in the north of Gaza City killed the head of its Hamas-led security forces. Violence between Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Israeli forces and settlers has meanwhile surged amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. On Thursday, three Palestinians in the West Bank including two teenagers were killed by Israeli forces after they stormed the village of Budrus, Palestinian official news agency WAFA reported. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel over the same period, according to Israeli authorities.

☆ The Hollywood Producer Who Could Bring Down Israel’s Netanyahu

The life story of Arnon Milchan, billionaire Hollywood mogul and secret agent, could have been made for the silver screen: He produced blockbusters like “Pretty Woman,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and also made a fortune from arms dealing, including covert exploits procuring weapons for Israel, his native country. A decade ago, he went public about his work for Israeli intelligence, landing himself in a spot of trouble. But a longstanding relationship he had with Benjamin Netanyahu, then and once again the Israeli prime minister, proved to be useful. Mr. Netanyahu successfully lobbied senior American officials on Mr. Milchan’s behalf to reinstate his visa, according to an Israeli indictment against Mr. Netanyahu.

From blocking highways to dressing up as handmaids, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have protested for three months against a judicial overhaul planned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Photo Composite: Emily SiuTEL AVIV—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he is committed to reaching a compromise over a proposed judicial overhaul that has sharply divided the country, even as he comes under increasing pressure from elements within his own government to advance the legislation. Mr. Netanyahu agreed at the end of March to delay a vote on a key piece of the legislation and engage in negotiations with the opposition until after Israel’s Parliament, or Knesset, reconvened after Jewish and national holidays. The bill would have been the first piece of a broader effort to weaken the power of the Supreme Court and give greater control to elected lawmakers. The Knesset reconvenes Sunday, adding urgency to the talks with the opposition as the coalition can now advance pieces of the overhaul for the first time since negotiations began.

Protestors gather in Tel Aviv on April 15 to stage a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government's regulations restricting the powers of the judiciary. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday dismissed concerns about damaged investor confidence, despite massive and intensifying weekly protests over his planned overhaul of the country's judiciary. I think the momentary fluff, the momentary dust that is in the air is just that — dust. The country has been rocked by mass protests over the government's months-long bid to push through deeply contentious judicial reforms. Netanyahu, re-elected in November to serve as prime minister for a third time, agreed late last month to delay the planned judicial reforms.
