A new Ifop poll reveals that 46% of Muslims in France would consider leaving the country if Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right-wing National Rally's parliamentary group, wins the 2027 presidential election. 77% of supporters of the far-left politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon say they would be prepared to disobey laws they consider unjust. France has an estimated 6–7 million Muslims, representing approximately 9–10% of the country's total population.

הליכוד: הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים. מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד. אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים. אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות. זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

🇮🇹 Meloni is FURIOUS after an Italian judge freed a man accused of inciting violent protests... “I truly do not know how a normal state can protect decent, law-abiding people in the face of such decisions.” A Milan judge refused to validate the detention of Youssef Siher, accused by prosecutors of criminal incitement aggravated by terrorist intent and organized violence linked to the “October 17 Movement.” The judge also REJECTED prosecutors' request to keep him in pretrial custody. Meloni called the decision “shameful” and an “intolerable affront” to police and investigators. The judge found there was insufficient serious evidence of guilt, while Siher's lawyers maintain that he committed no crime. Writer: Samuel
