Jacques Attali Raises the Possibility of an Eisenkot Victory in Israel and Makes Predictions for the US and France

In a post on X on October 25, 2026, Jacques Attali said Gadi Eisenkot could win Israel’s October 27 parliamentary election, followed by a possible Democratic wave in the US midterms. He also expressed hope that a “Churchillian social democrat” would win in France in May 2027, without naming anyone. Eisenkot, a former army chief of staff, leads Yashar ! and is the main rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel’s vote is the first since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, and the first since 1988 to take place after a full Knesset term.

Côte d’Ivoire: Friedrich Naumann Foundation calls for women’s alliances in decision-making

In Abidjan on October 23, 2026, Alexandra Heldt, West Africa regional director of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, called for stronger trust networks and alliances among women to increase their influence over public decisions. Speaking at a networking luncheon during the second edition of the Women’s Political Forum, she said that presence in assemblies and political parties is not enough: women must take part in shaping public policy and making decisions. She put women’s share of seats in Côte d’Ivoire’s National Assembly at 13–14%, compared with about 41% in Senegal, nearly 30% in Mali and Guinea, and 32% in Germany’s Bundestag. Around 40 participants from five countries had attended workshops the previous day on women’s rights, legal remedies, political communication, artificial intelligence, disinformation, and online harassment.

Cameroon Vice-President Appointment: Paul Biya Fears His Own Succession, Political Analyst Says

Political analyst Stéphane Menounga believes the absence of a vice-president in Cameroon may reflect Paul Biya’s personal concerns about succession. He says the April 2026 constitutional reform gives the vice-president a role in determining whether the president is permanently unable to serve, and that Biya may fear an appointment could hasten that process. The post has remained vacant since its reintroduction in the Constitution, despite calls for an appointment. At 93, Biya retains the final decision over his future vice-president.
