Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump are currently in a nail-biting race as the&nbsp;election day in the&nbsp;United States nears. However, the Democrats have reportedly been expressing fear about Harris'&nbsp;victory, whereas Republicans feel confident about Trump.&nbsp;

However, polls suggest that both candidates have a near-equal chance of entering the White House.&nbsp;

US Election: No Avenue Left Untapped To Woo Voters

With the US presidential election heading into the home stretch, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will likely be hoping for Donald Trump to return to the White House.

Trump's last time in office was good for Netanyahu, and in the lead-up to the November 5 vote, the former president has sent mixed messages on his Middle East policy.

His remarks have ranged from encouraging Netanyahu to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities -- which Israel refrained from in its strikes Saturday -- to criticising the Israeli leader, saying "the October 7 attack would never have happened if I was president" and that he will pressure Israel to end the wars.

Yet it is these unclear policies, combined with Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan, that analysts say Netanyahu is hoping for.

An isolationist, Trump as a Republican president might give Netanyahu more freedom to navigate the conflicts that continue to rage in Gaza and Lebanon.

"One of Netanyahu's milestones is the US election. He is praying for a Trump victory, which he thinks will give him a lot of freedom of movement, which will let him do what he aspires," Gidon Rahat, political science professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, told AFP.

Aviv Bushinsky, a political commentator and Netanyahu's former chief of staff, similarly said: "His experience with Republicans is very good... unlike with the Democrats who are much tougher on him."

In 17 years as prime minister, Netanyahu has only served opposite one Republican leader, Trump.

During his presidency, Trump went ahead with several moves that boosted Netanyahu's domestic standing while upending some long-standing US policies on Israel, its conflict with the Palestinians and the wider region.

The Republican president moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, which Israel claims as its undivided capital, recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, and oversaw the normalisation of ties between three Arab states and Israel.

Trump also withdrew from a landmark nuclear deal with Israel's arch-foe Iran and reimposed tough economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has long had a frosty relationship with Netanyahu despite insisting on his "ironclad support" for Israel.

Unlike Trump, Biden had warned Netanyahu against striking Iran's oil production and nuclear facilities.

Trump and Netanyahu also enjoy a close personal relationship, with the former US president boasting this week of having had frequent phone calls with the Israeli premier.

"We have a very good relationship," Trump said at a rally in Georgia. "We're going to work with them very closely."

Those positives will outweigh any concerns, said Bushinsky.

"I think Netanyahu would be willing to take the risk of Trump's unpredictability," he said.

Trump is popular not just with Netanyahu but with the Israeli public.&nbsp;

An opinion poll conducted in September by Mitvim, the Israel Institute for Regional Foreign Policies, said 68 per cent of Israelis see Trump as the candidate who will best serve Israel's interests.

Only 14 per cent chose Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her repeatedly declaring her support for Israel and its right to defend itself.

"In Israel, more than any other liberal democracy outside the United States, Trump is more popular than Harris," said Nadav Tamir, a former Israeli diplomat to the United States and a member of Mitvim's board of directors.

A new Trump administration, though, could come with surprises, according to Tamir.

The former president has increasingly surrounded himself with Republicans "who are isolationists and don't want America to be the leader of the free world or international alliances", he said.

<h2 bis_size="{&quot;x&quot;:8,&quot;y&quot;:1290,&quot;w&quot;:723,&quot;h&quot;:26,&quot;abs_x&quot;:41,&quot;abs_y&quot;:2976}">'Distrust'</h2>

Among Palestinians there is little enthusiasm for either candidate, said Khalil Shikaki, a Palestinian political scientist and pollster.

"Palestinians distrust both candidates and see little difference between them," he said.

Taher al-Nunu, a Hamas official, told AFP that he believed "successive US administrations have always been biased" towards Israel.

On the street, Palestinians said no matter who wins, life in their territories will not improve.

"I do not believe that the American elections will have a positive impact on our political reality," said Leen Bassem, a 21-year-old student at Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank.

Hassan Anwar, 42, a sound engineer, also said he did not believe there was any difference, "because American policy is completely clear in its support and backing of Israel".

Xi Jinping may have a new military secretary suggests State footage that's been released this week. Lt. General Fang Yongxiang was part of a group accompanying the Chinese president during a visit to the country's Elite PLA rocket Force.

China's New Military Secretary: Lt. Gen Fang Yongxiang Seen With President Xi

Egypt's president Abdel Fattah el-Sissi on Sunday (October 27) announced a proposal for a two-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with the aim of securing the release of four hostages held in Gaza.

During a press conference in Cairo, alongside Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the Egyptian president shared his proposal amidst plans for discussions in Doha involving diplomats from Israel, the US, Egypt, and Qatar, intended to revive stalled truce negotiations.

Egypt, a significant mediator alongside Qatar and the United States, has now made this proposal publicly for the first time. So far, there has been no official response from Israel or Hamas regarding the suggestion.

President el-Sissi explained that the initiative aims to “move the situation forward”. He added that if the ceasefire holds for two days, further discussions would pursue an extended ceasefire.

Negotiations would aim for a temporary pause in hostilities and the release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Israel's release of Palestinian detainees, as per an Egyptian official.

The talks aim to reach a short-term ceasefire, expected to last under a month, in hope&nbsp;of establishing a more lasting peace agreement.

This proposal follows a brief ceasefire in November, during which fighting paused and hostages and prisoners were exchanged.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Mossad chief was travelling to Doha on Sunday for meetings with Qatar’s prime minister and the CIA director.

The announcement coincided with reports from Palestinian officials of Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza on Sunday, which they say left at least 33 dead, primarily women and children. Israel stated the strikes were aimed at militant targets.

The United Nations described the humanitarian situation for civilians in northern Gaza as "unbearable", criticising the conduct of the conflict, which it says disregards international humanitarian law.

"The Secretary-General is shocked by the harrowing levels of death, injury and destruction in the north, with civilians trapped under rubble, the sick and wounded going without life-saving health care, and families lacking food and shelter, amid reports of families being separated and many people detained," said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

Israel-Hezbollah Trade Fire: Israel Strikes Hezbollah Compound

A truck driver rammed his vehicle into a bus stop full of passengers in central Israel on Sunday (Oct 27), killing one and injuring&nbsp;more than 30 people. The driver was "shot and neutralised", said Israeli police.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to pause his speech at a memorial ceremony organised in remembrance of the October 7 attack and the Israel-Hamas war's civilian casualties when the bereaved families started shouting "Shame on you!”.

In the live broadcast of the speech, one of the protesters was heard shouting, "My father was killed", while others shouted, “Shame on you!”

The administration of Netanyahu has been facing public and diplomatic pressure to take more significant steps to finalise a deal with Hamas and release the captives who are still in Gaza.

<h2>Israel to push for restart of negotiations over hostage release deal</h2>

Israeli spy chief David Barnea will be travelling to Doha on Sunday (Oct 27) to hold talks which will be aimed at restarting negotiations on the Gaza hostage release deal.

The Israeli government has been appealed by several Western leaders and families of hostages to broker an agreement after Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's death earlier this month.

According to some analysts, Sinwar was the main obstacle in the agreement which will pave the way for the release of 97 hostages still held in Gaza.

Netanyahu has also been criticised by some for obstructing mediation in the truce. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant earlier said that the military action will not only help achieve the aim of the war which is to bring back the hostages.

"Not all objectives can be achieved through military operations alone... To realise our moral duty to bring our hostages home, we will have to make painful concessions," said Gallant, in another speech.

US elections 2024: A beginner's guide to US voter registration deadlines

Japan's scandal-hit ruling party has fallen short of a majority for the first time since 2009 in snap elections on Sunday, media projections showed, in a blow to new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

Worse still, it was touch and go whether Ishiba's conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) could secure a parliamentary majority with its long-term coalition partner, the Komeito party.

"We are receiving severe judgment," Ishiba told national broadcaster NHK late Sunday.

Voters "expressed their strong desire for the LDP to do some reflection and become a party that will act in line with the people's will," he said.

Former defence minister Ishiba, 67, called the election after being narrowly selected last month to lead the LDP, which has governed Japan for almost all of the past 70 years.

But voters in the world's fourth-largest economy have been rankled by rising prices and the fallout from a party slush fund scandal that helped sink previous premier Fumio Kishida.

Footage from the LDP headquarters after the polls closed on Sunday showed gloomy faces as the projections based on exit polls said Ishiba's justice and agriculture ministers were likely to lose their seats.

Ishiba, a self-confessed security policy geek who likes making model planes, had said his target in the election was for the coalition to win a majority.

Missing this goal would seriously undermine his position in the LDP and mean finding other coalition partners or leading a minority government.

"If we are unable to obtain a majority as a result of severe public judgement, we will ask as many people as possible to cooperate with us," the LDP's election chief Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters.

In Japan's last general election in 2021, the LDP won a majority in its own right, with 259 seats in parliament's powerful lower house. Komeito had 32.

On Sunday, national broadcaster NHK projected that the LDP would win between 153 and 219 seats -- short of the 233 needed for a majority in the 465-seat parliament.

If confirmed by official results, the LDP losing its majority would be the worst result since it lost power 15 years ago before being brought back in a 2012 landslide by late former premier Shinzo Abe.

Together with Komeito, which is projected 21 to 35 seats, the coalition would hold between 174 and 254 seats, according to NHK.

Projections from the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri dailies suggested the coalition would lose its majority. The Asahi projected the LDP would win 185 seats and that the coalition would manage only 210.&nbsp;

Opinion polls before the election had suggested that in many districts, LDP candidates were neck-and-neck with those from the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), the second-biggest in parliament, led by popular former prime minister Yoshihiko Noda.

Projections on Sunday suggested that the CDP had made considerable gains, with NHK indicating it could win between 128 and 191 seats -- up from 96.

"The LDP's politics is all about quickly implementing policies for those who give them loads of cash," 67-year-old Noda told his supporters on Saturday.

Noda said on Sunday night he would hold "sincere talks with various parties".

"Our basic philosophy is that the LDP-Komeito administration cannot continue," Noda told Fuji-TV.

Ishiba has pledged to revitalise depressed rural regions and to address the "quiet emergency" of Japan's falling population through family-friendly measures such as flexible working hours.

But he has rowed back his position on issues including allowing married couples to take separate surnames. He also named only two women as ministers in his cabinet.

He has backed the creation of a regional military alliance along the lines of NATO to counter China, although he has cautioned it would "not happen overnight".

Noda's stance "is sort of similar to the LDP's. He is basically a conservative," Masato Kamikubo, a political scientist at Ritsumeikan University, told AFP before the election.

"The CDP or Noda can be an alternative to the LDP. Many voters think so."

But voters in the world's fourth-largest economy have been rankled by rising prices and the fallout from a party slush fund scandal that helped sink previous premier Fumio Kishida. Footage from the LDP headquarters after the polls closed on Sunday showed gloomy faces as the projections based on exit polls said Ishiba's justice and agriculture ministers were likely to lose their seats. Ishiba, a self-confessed security policy geek who likes making model planes, had said his target in the election was for the coalition to win a majority. Missing this goal would seriously undermine his position in the LDP and mean finding other coalition partners or leading a minority government. "If we are unable to obtain a majority as a result of severe public judgement, we will ask as many people as possible to cooperate with us," the LDP's election chief Shinjiro Koizumi told reporters. In Japan's last general election in 2021, the LDP won a majority in its own right, with 259 seats in parliament's powerful lower house. Komeito had 32. On Sunday, national broadcaster NHK projected that the LDP would win between 153 and 219 seats -- short of the 233 needed for a majority in the 465-seat parliament. If confirmed by official results, the LDP losing its majority would be the worst result since it lost power 15 years ago before being brought back in a 2012 landslide by late former premier Shinzo Abe. Together with Komeito, which is projected 21 to 35 seats, the coalition would hold between 174 and 254 seats, according to NHK. Projections from the Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri dailies suggested the coalition would lose its majority. The Asahi projected the LDP would win 185 seats and that the coalition would manage only 210.

Projections on Sunday suggested that the CDP had made considerable gains, with NHK indicating it could win between 128 and 191 seats -- up from 96. "The LDP's politics is all about quickly implementing policies for those who give them loads of cash," 67-year-old Noda told his supporters on Saturday. Noda said on Sunday night he would hold "sincere talks with various parties". "Our basic philosophy is that the LDP-Komeito administration cannot continue," Noda told Fuji-TV. Ishiba has pledged to revitalise depressed rural regions and to address the "quiet emergency" of Japan's falling population through family-friendly measures such as flexible working hours. But he has rowed back his position on issues including allowing married couples to take separate surnames. He also named only two women as ministers in his cabinet. He has backed the creation of a regional military alliance along the lines of NATO to counter China, although he has cautioned it would "not happen overnight". Noda's stance "is sort of similar to the LDP's. He is basically a conservative," Masato Kamikubo, a political scientist at Ritsumeikan University, told AFP before the election. "The CDP or Noda can be an alternative to the LDP. Many voters think so." Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.
