Israel’s election rhetoric: What candidates said, and how they performed

Israel’s parliamentary election produced no clear winner: with nearly 90 percent of ballots counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc was on course for 53 seats and Gadi Eisenkot’s opposition bloc for 48, short of the 61 needed to form a government. Arab-majority parties won a record 19 seats, after turnout among Palestinian citizens of Israel reached about 80 percent, putting them at the centre of coalition negotiations even as several party leaders ruled out governing with them. During the campaign, Netanyahu expressed confidence and warned that the opposition could grant citizenship to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. On election day, he called forming a government with Arab-led parties “a shame and a disgrace.”

Hundreds of students protested on Monday over transport problems, poor campus facilities and student welfare. Lectures resumed after the government promised improvements, but students are also demanding the resignations of Vice Chancellor Herbert Robinson and the director of student affairs. The Students’ Union says the problems affect more than 12,000 students.

Assimi Goïta in Moscow: “Africa Cannot Be Reduced to a Mere Source of Raw Materials”

At the third Russia-Africa Partnership Forum summit at the Kremlin, Mali’s transitional president, Assimi Goïta, called for cooperation based on sovereignty, equality among states and mutual respect. He urged Africa to become a full participant in global governance, able to set its priorities and choose its partners, rather than serve as a battleground for competition or a source of raw materials. Goïta also said Mali had changed its strategy against terrorism to rely on its own capabilities, and that the growing strength of the Malian Armed Forces was helping the state gradually reassert its authority across the country.
