Political Gridlock in Israel After No Clear Winner Emerges from Tuesday’s National Election democracynow.org/2026/10/28/…
We get analysis of the Israeli elections, the upcoming U.S. midterms, the pro-Palestine movement and more from Palestinian American scholar Rashid Khalidi and Pakistani British writer Tariq Ali. They are co-authors of the new book "The Neck and the Sword: Palestine’s Unfinished Struggle."
democracynow.org/2026/10/28/…
Rashid Khalidi assesses the current state of pro-Palestine resistance, from Palestine Action to campus protests to Palestinians refusing to leave their homes. “In international law, resistance, armed resistance, and multiple other forms are legal,” he notes.
We speak with acclaimed historians Rashid Khalidi and Tariq Ali as Israel is facing political gridlock after neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his chief challenger, Gadi Eisenkot, won enough support to form a new government in Tuesday's election.
The final vote tally could take days, but both camps appear to have fallen short of the 61-seat threshold for a majority in the 120-seat Knesset, with Arab parties holding the balance of power with about 17 seats — their strongest showing ever.

UPDATE: Lina Attalah has been released.
Her detention is part of "an unprecedented escalation" in Egypt's assault on independent media.
democracynow.org/2026/10/27/…
A court in Cairo has ordered the closure of the independent Egyptian news site Mada Masr. The court also ordered the site’s editor-in-chief, Lina Attalah, to be detained until she pays a fine of over $50,000. She was convicted on charges of managing an unlicensed website.
Mada Masr is “the flagship independent media outlet in Egypt and a pillar of independent media in the region,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous of Drop Site News, who previously worked at Mada Masr. democracynow.org/2026/10/27/…
