Here’s the official Central Elections Committee website, where you can refresh for live results: votes26.bechirot.gov.il/ We’ll know much more by Wednesday afternoon. Around 650,000 special double-envelope ballots-roughly 11% of votes cast-will be counted separately, potentially into Thursday. #IsraelElection #IsraElex2026

We are now in what might be called the journalist’s danger zone, where an overconfident prediction can stain the rest of your career. In 2015, the exit polls showed Likud and Isaac Herzog’s Zionist Union roughly tied at 27 or 28 seats each, and both camps claimed victory. The final result was Likud 30, Zionist Union 24, a six-seat gap no exit poll saw coming. Stay humble.

Today, my thoughts are with the loved ones of the 11 Jews who were murdered at the Tree of Life Synagogue eight years ago. They came together that day to share in their Judaism, and their lives were stolen from them in a horrific act of hate. We carry them with us as we continue to fight against the scourge of antisemitism. May their memories be a blessing.

This morning, I asked Keith Siegel what it meant to him to cast his ballot today. He answered: “To me, voting is about freedom, responsibility and hope for the future of our country. After spending 484 days in captivity in Gaza, being free and having the right to vote carries a deeper meaning for me. Freedom is not something I take for granted. It means having a voice, being able to make choices, and having a say in the future of our country. I believe our leaders must prioritize human life, dignity, peace, and security. When I vote, I am exercising a right that I deeply value and expressing my hope that our children, grandchildren and future generations will live in a country where freedom, democracy and humanity prevail.”
I love this photo of Keith and Aviva Siegel voting. שהחיינו והגיענו

“Israeli elections are always consequential, but this one carries particular significance not only for Israel’s future but for its relationship with the United States, American Jewry and the broader Middle East,” Daroff said. “I will be watching closely, not just to see who wins the most seats but who can assemble a governing coalition and what that government might mean for Israel’s future.”

For centuries, Jews were singled out, demonized, and held to standards demanded of no one else. Today, Israel has become the Jew among nations at the United Nations.     Israel is entitled to the same standards of justice as every other nation—no more and no less. Antisemitism does not become acceptable because it is stamped with the seal of the UN. This so-called Commission of Inquiry is a biased, illegitimate inquisition. We reject it. @AmbUNReform

An inspired choice. @ShelleyGspan
President Trump's Board of Peace has appointed Shelley Greenspan, who served as the White House's Jewish community liaison during the Biden administration, to lead its outreach to Congress and the Washington think tank community. My report on @axios axios.com/2026/10/26/trump-g…

OTD in 1977, the UAE’s 🇦🇪 first Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Saif Ghobash, was killed at Abu Dhabi airport by a Palestinian gunman targeting the Syrian Foreign Minister. 49 years later, we honor his service to the UAE and remember the human cost of terrorism.

I’m departing Israel after an amazing week showing this land & its complexities to a wonderful group of Catholics. One stop we made was @NLIsrael where a display contains a pen Harry Truman used to sign USA’s recognition of Israel’s statehood. As Israelis vote this week…. 1/2

Last week, ADL and the J7 Task Force traveled to the UK and Ireland for the annual J7 summit, amid rising antisemitism and growing threats to Jewish communities. With 2025 marking the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks against diaspora Jews in over 30 years, the need for action is urgent. It cannot wait. Throughout the week, we heard directly from Jewish communities about the challenges they face and brought their concerns to government officials and institutional leaders, including the UK's Foreign Secretary, Ireland's Taoiseach, government ministers, BBC leadership and members of Parliament. Our message was clear. World leaders must recognize antisemitism as a growing and imminent threat to Jewish communities and our shared democratic values, and take concrete action. That means strengthening security for Jewish institutions, enforcing hate crime laws, confronting antisemitism in the media and online and holding leaders accountable.

Cuba Libre!
To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

We are deeply saddened by today’s deadly terror attack on Christians attending a funeral at a church in Karak, Jordan. Israel strongly condemns this horrific terror attack against innocent worshippers. Our heartfelt condolences go to the families of those murdered, and our prayers are with the wounded and the entire Christian community in Jordan.
BREAKING: 7 Christians killed in a church in Jordan after 2 gunmen attack a funeral. Security forces are chasing the attackers behind what seems to be an Islamist terror attack.
