Israeli president urges parties to avoid fresh election after inconclusive vote
JERUSALEM – Israel’s president has called on political parties to avoid another election after Tuesday’s vote produced no clear winner, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot scrambling to form a government. With more than 85% of ballots counted, neither Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc nor Eisenkot’s opposition has secured the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-seat parliament.
Israeli Arab parties hold key as Bibi falls short of majority
Results from Israel's hard-fought election pointed on Wednesday to no clear winner, as a leader of the Arab minority appealed to a hesitant opposition to join forces to end the divisive reign of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. With more than three quarters of the vote counted, Netanyahu's right-wing bloc was slightly ahead but still short of a majority in Tuesday's election, the first since the October 7, 2023 attack, which has led Israel to wage war in Gaza and across the region.

Netanyahu, rivals trade attacks over Iran as clock counts down to Israel vote
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrapped up his campaign to remain in power on Monday with a claim that Israel faced potential annihilation at the hands of Iran should his election rivals prevail. Over the course of a neck-and-neck race, Netanyahu has campaigned heavily on his security credentials, insisting only he can "finish the job" against Tehran and painting his main challenger, ex-army chief Gadi Eisenkot, as soft on Israel's sworn foe.

Israel to close all land crossings with West Bank on election day
Israel said Sunday all land crossings with the West Bank will be closed on the day of next week's election, as it pledged a harder line on militancy after Palestinian gunmen killed two soldiers in the territory. The announcement came a day after Israeli forces pushed into the occupied West Bank city of Hebron and displaced around 2,000 residents, with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying, "they will not be allowed to return... until we've finished dealing with all the Hamas issues in Hebron".

Israeli forces displace Hebron families after deadly attack
Israeli forces pushed into the occupied West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday and displaced around 250 families, vowing to exact a heavy price for an attack the day before in which two Palestinians killed two soldiers before being gunned down.

L'armée israélienne a déplacé de nombreuses familles palestiniennes à Hébron en Cisjordanie occupée, notamment dans la nuit, et poursuit ses opérations sur place samedi, au lendemain d'une attaque meurtrière ayant coûté la vie à deux soldats.

Israel army announces 4 soldiers killed in Gaza, thousands more troops needed
Israel's military announced Friday the deaths of four soldiers in Gaza, saying it needed thousands more troops to press its offensive, just as the premier's coalition faces the prospect of collapse over ultra-Orthodox conscription. News of the soldiers' deaths came as Gaza's civil defense agency reported 38 killed Friday in Israeli attacks across the territory, where Palestinians observed the Eid al-Adha holiday under the shadow of war for a second consecutive year.
Gaza rescuers say more than 50 killed as Israel orders evacuations
Plumes of smoke rose Thursday over the northern Gaza Strip, where Israel's military urged civilians to evacuate, as rescuers said Israeli strikes across the territory killed more than 50 people. The latest evacuation warning for parts of Gaza City and neighboring areas came hours after the United Nations said it had begun distributing around 90 truckloads of aid in Gaza -- the first such delivery since Israel imposed a total blockade on March 2.
L’armée israélienne émet un avis d’évacuation pour les habitants de 14 secteurs dans le nord de la bande de Gaza
L’armée israélienne a émis jeudi un avis d’évacuation pour les habitants de 14 secteurs dans le nord de la bande de Gaza, où l’intensification de son offensive suscite de plus en plus de critiques internationales.

The Wealth of Freedom: Radical Republican Political Economy
What is an economy for? The republican tradition in political thought offers a compelling way of exploring this question. The economy is for the common good, and the people, as the sovereign, properly have democratic authority to design it to satisfy their common good. Recent republican philosophers emphasize the centrality of freedom to the common good, where freedom is centrally ‘non-domination’: the status of not being subject to another’s uncontrolled power of interference.

Australians generate mountains of waste, and we need more help to recycle and resuse it
Australians largely support transforming the economy to increase recycling, repurpose products and reduce waste, according to a new report from the Productivity Commission, but they are being impeded by inconsistent regulations. The interim report of the commission’s inquiry into Australia’s circular economy, released Wednesday night, also finds consumers need more information about the durability and repairability of products.

Fireproofing offshore wind for a sustainable future
(Click here to view article in digital edition) Fire incidents on offshore wind assets, particularly on transformer platforms, can have catastrophic consequences. In 2022, 225 high-potential incidents were reported in the UK offshore wind sector, a 10 per cent increase on 2021, and while only a small proportion of these could relate to transformer platforms, it highlights the risks the sector faces.
Fireproofing offshore wind for a sustainable future
The offshore wind sector is critical to achieving net-zero goals and ensuring energy security. As governments around the world hedge their bets on offshore wind being a key driver to meeting those sustainability goals, it has never been more important to ensure that safety is at the forefront of decision making to keep critical assets online. However, this sector faces unique fire safety challenges that could have significant consequences if not addressed properly.

V2G: My Nissan Leaf earned $100 in just two hours supporting grid in heatwave
On Thursday, February 29, during a heat wave, the price of electricity on the NSW electricity marked spiked as the operational demand reached its third highest levels on record. Rooftop solar PV helped to bring down the peak demand from even higher levels (a record high was set for “native” demand earlier in the day), and even as the sun started to go down after 5pm the air conditioning load was still impacting.

By Stuart WHITE Outside Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity in the Palestinian West Bank, the throngs of tourists and pilgrims who normally rub shoulders with costumed Santas and marching bands are missing this year. There are no festive lights strung overhead and no sign of the huge tree normally erected to celebrate the event that Christians believe took place on this spot 2,000 years ago: the birth of Jesus Christ.
