Guinea-Bissau: Disaster narrowly avoided as 12 Senegalese sailors are rescued from shipwreck

A Senegalese trawler that left Dakar on October 22 capsized and sank on the night of October 30–31, 2026, 36 kilometres off Cap Skirring in Guinea-Bissau’s territorial waters. Twelve of the 13 people aboard were rescued after the vessel overturned while its crew was hauling in nets: a Philippine-flagged tanker bound for Angola rescued three, and a local fishing pirogue also helped. A Guinea-Bissau fisheries inspector who went into the water during the capsize remains missing. A judicial investigation has been opened in Cap Skirring.

Israel: Gadi Eisenkot at the center of tensions over a possible alliance with Arab parties

Right-wing activists gathered outside the home of Gadi Eisenkot, a former Israeli military chief and centrist opposition figure, on Sunday to protest a possible alliance with Arab Israeli parties. Those parties represent a minority that makes up about 20% of the population, and protesters said a coalition with them would threaten Israel’s Jewish character. Viktor Shriki said no government should be formed with Arab, Muslim and anti-Zionist society, while Shoshana Idasis objected to groups she associated with support for Hamas. Eisenkot, the main centrist rival to Benjamin Netanyahu, has left open the possibility of partnering with some Arab parties if they recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
