- Description
- Arab-led parties won more seats in Israel’s parliament than ever before, and with no bloc holding a majority, they may decide who runs the country. But most Jewish-led parties have long refused to rely on Arab lawmakers.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party claims there was fraud at Arab polling stations, though police and election officials say there’s no evidence of widespread fraud.
What's next for the deadlock?

- Description
- Brazil’s presidential runoff pits leftist President Lula, who is seeking a fourth term, against right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup. Flávio won the first round by about two points, and the stakes reach beyond Brazil: he wants closer ties with Washington, while Lula has drawn the country closer to China.

- How Russia’s War Fueled an Economic Boom in Kyrgyzstan
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Kyrgyzstan’s economy grew 11 percent last year, and much of the reason is Russia’s war in Ukraine. Sanctions cut Russia off from Western goods, and Kyrgyzstan—in a customs union with Russia—became the route they travel instead, with European exports to the country now eight times their prewar level. The boom has brought new roads and airports, rising prices, Western sanctions on Kyrgyz companies, and a dependence on a war Kyrgyzstan does not control.

- Description
- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called an early election for Nov. 29, even though his Socialist Party trails the conservative People’s Party by about 7 points. He’s betting that anger over Spain’s housing crisis, and fear of the far right gaining power, will bring out left-leaning voters. But polls suggest the most likely result is a coalition between the People’s Party and far-right Vox, which would put the far right in Spain’s cabinet for the first time since the country became a democracy.

This week: Germany’s far-right AfD came within three seats of an outright majority in Saxony-Anhalt, testing the “firewall” mainstream parties have used to keep it out of power. Houthi rebels fired a dozen ballistic missiles into southern Saudi Arabia, hitting energy sites as the Strait of Hormuz blockage pushes oil traffic through a route the Houthis have now embargoed. And Sweden heads to the polls Sunday, with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s coalition closing a polling gap after years of falling gun violence.

- "It's All Talk, Not News": GlobalPost's Phil Balboni on America's Missing Evening News Hour

- Description
- On "In Search of Sanity," host Clive Pinder asked GlobalPost's Executive Chairman Phil Balboni a hard question: what can the media itself do to fix a fragmented news landscape?
Phil's answer: in a country of 350 million people, there isn't a single hour of dedicated evening news on American television. PBS NewsHour airs early in the evening — but beyond that, it's cable networks built around talk and opinion, not news.
This is the gap GlobalPost was built to fill: independent, global news coverage without the noise. Check it out at globalpost.com.

🇿🇲 Zambia | 0:00
Caught between two superpowers — Zambia just stalled a $2 billion US health deal over terms it called "unacceptable," and cancelled an international human rights conference after China pressured it to exclude Taiwan. The question now is whether non-alignment is still a viable strategy.
🇷🇺 Russia | 0:45
Putin's spring offensive isn't going to plan. 123,000 casualties to take just 66 square kilometres since January. At Saturday's Victory Day parade he vowed total victory — then told reporters hours later the war was "coming to an end." Is that a leader under pressure, or one quietly looking for an exit?

An Iranian-made drone struck the British military base at Akrotiri in March. Hotel bookings are down 40%. The far-right is surging ahead of the May 24 election. The island sits 100 miles from Syria — ...

🇧🇫 In #BurkinaFaso, the military government dissolved 118 NGOs in a single week, wiping out the last independent monitors from a country where the conflict is getting worse, not better.
🇶🇦 And in #Qatar, the #Iran war has left Doha caught in a crisis it wanted no part of — now facing the hardest question yet: whether its model of staying friends with everyone can survive what just happened to it.

In #Zimbabwe, President Mnangagwa is pushing a constitutional amendment that would hand the power to elect the country's leader to a parliament his party controls — critics call it a slow-motion coup.
Across #Europe, the #Iran war is exposing deep fractures in the transatlantic alliance, with Trump threatening to pull US bases and the ceasefire set to expire next week.
In #Brazil, Lula is resisting Washington's push to designate the country's most powerful gangs as extremist organizations — a fight that will only intensify as October elections approach.
We're also watching Taiwan, where opposition leader Cheng Li-wun's first meeting with Xi Jinping in a decade could quietly reshape the island's relationship with Beijing.

In #Bulgaria, voters go to the polls for the eighth time in five years — and if frontrunner Rumen Radev wins, a #NATO and #EU member could become the next Orbán-style obstacle to Western unity on #Ukraine. Across #Africa, the #Iran war is exposing just how little buffer the continent's most vulnerable economies have — with fuel shortages and rising food costs already biting before any ceasefire holds. And in the Americas, Trump's Shield of the Americas launched a month ago — without #Brazil, #Mexico, or #Colombia — and produced just half a page of declarations with no new funding and no concrete plan.

- Three elections next week — and each one is a different kind of stress test for democracy. In Hungary, Viktor Orbán faces his first serious electoral challenge in sixteen years, with former insider Peter Magyar leading the opposition. In Peru, thirty-five candidates are competing to become the country's ninth president in ten years — with the two frontrunners both under criminal investigation. And in Benin, a December coup attempt, a largely barred opposition, and a spreading northern insurgency set the backdrop for an election that may be democracy in name only.

In Sweden, closing arguments are underway in the Lundin Oil case — the longest trial in the country's history, with former executives accused of complicity in war crimes in Sudan. And in Bolivia, two decades of leftist rule have ended — but the economic crisis doesn't care who's in charge, and Evo Morales isn't going quietly.
