‘Lioness’ star Jill Wagner raises daughters in Tennessee town of 800, where horses and buggies still roam
From the high-stakes action of “Lioness” to the holiday adventure of “A Very Arctic Christmas,” Jill Wagner is taking on two very different worlds.But off camera, the actress has traded Hollywood’s hustle for a quieter life raising her two daughters on a Tennessee farm in a town of just 800 people — where horses and buggies are still a familiar sight.”First of all, I love Tennessee … I’m from the South. I’m from North Carolina,” she told Fox News Digital. “I love the people here but especially love the small-town mentality.”‘RANSOM CANYON’ STAR JOSH DUHAMEL SAYS HE’D RATHER PUT MONEY INTO NORTH DAKOTA AFTER SELLING LOS ANGELES HOMELife in her Tennessee town offers a glimpse of a world that can feel far removed from Hollywood.”I was at the post office this morning and one of the Mennonites was in front of me … I got to look at their horse and buggy,” she said.Wagner said the small-town atmosphere has become an important part of the childhood she and her husband want to give their girls.The actress explained why she hopes her daughters will eventually appreciate the slower pace, even if they someday follow in her footsteps and move to bigger cities.WATCH: JILL WAGNER TRADES HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE FOR TENNESSEE FAMILY LIFE”In some ways, going back to a simpler, slower pace … I think as we get older, or at least I know I can speak for myself, as I get older, I really value that,” she added.Wagner knows the pull of Hollywood firsthand.

I know that … they love outdoors. They don’t necessarily like doing farm work. So, we’re trying to still work on that,” she laughed.”They do love running around barefooted in the dirt, and they can play outside all day long, which I love for them,” Wagner said.The family hopes to add chickens and goats when Wagner’s work schedule allows more time at home.”Maybe one day we’ll get a horse or a pony for them,” she added.GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HEREBut for Wagner, the biggest perk of small-town life isn’t just the farm — it’s the neighbors who show up when it matters.Her family owns Scott Mansion Farms, where they host charitable events benefiting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and Dolly Parton’s Children’s Hospital.

(VIDEO) Ilhan Omar Spotted at Somali Mall in Minneapolis After Feds Raided Home
Ilhan Omar resurfaces at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis
Somali Rep. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka Ilhan Omar, was spotted last Friday at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis, where she greeted supporters, took photos, and sat for lunch.
This was during her first public appearance last week since the raid on her Washington, DC home by federal agents.
Previously, The Gateway Pundit reported that she was seen entering the Mosque at Karmel Mall after it was revealed in court filings that her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi– the same last name as her brother-husband, sister, and late-father.
A Fox News reporter asked the Somali Rep., “Is your name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi or Ilhan Abdullahi Omar?” and she defiantly responded, “It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. You know it.”
Now, Fox has released additional footage from her day at the Somali mall last Friday. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was also seen at the mall with Omar.
Via Fox:
As reported by Fox, the mall’s owner and Ilhan Omar’s friend, Basim Sabri, who was born in Gaza but now owns a real estate empire in Minnesota, including the mall and several apartment complexes, also has a criminal history of his own.
Per Fox:
In 2005, Sabri was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for bribing a local Minneapolis public official. He told Fox News Digital about his time in prison, which included a brief stay at the infamous Federal Correctional Institution, Leavenworth in Kansas, almost boastfully.
Sabri bragged that the siloed Somali mall is evidence of assimilation on behalf of his foreign-born tenants and part of living the “American dream,” though the opposite seemed true.
“You can see [the] Somalis not only integrating in the community, but also prospering,” he said. “Somalis are very smart business individuals.”
“Yes, there’s some crooks in every society … just like every other community,” he said, apparently nodding to the massive fraud scandals that have plagued the Somali community in Minnesota in the national headlines.

WAYNE ROOT: I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE LATEST DEMOCRAT SCAM- IT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH FAKE POLLS.
By Wayne Allyn Root
I love prediction markets- like Polymarket and Kalshi. I think they are the greatest way to predict outcomes- whether it be the economy, stocks, sports, or political elections.
People who put their money where their mouth is are far more accurate than pollsters. As we found with the 2024 election.
The fake polls- either because they purposely oversample Democrats, or because MAGA voters don’t talk to pollsters- were all badly wrong in 2024. Not to mention 2016 and 2020.
While the prediction markets were all “on the money.”
That’s how I was able to predict the exact outcome of the 2024 election- I closely monitored the betting at prediction sites.
Therefore, I correctly predicted not only a Trump victory but a 2-point popular vote margin and Trump sweeping all seven battleground states. My predictions were the most accurate in the entire US media- but I had a “secret weapon”- the prediction markets.
Democrats immediately realized how important prediction markets were in two areas…
The prediction markets in 2024 counteracted the fake polls.
Prediction markets shape public opinion- because everyone loves a winner! So, whoever looks like they’re winning gets a jolt of energy, enthusiasm, and money! And the voters on the other side may be demoralized and stay home.
In other words, the odds at prediction markets can actually change the outcomes of elections.
But prediction markets are only important and accurate IF…
IF they are on the up and up.
IF they aren’t distorted or manipulated.
IF they aren’t as fake as the polls.
Democrats (i.e., communists) are the worst scammers on the planet. They are smart, evil and cunning. And they have no conscience. Remember the famous words of communist organizer Saul Alinsky- “The ends justify the means.”
In other words, Democrats believe it’s justified to rig and steal elections to hijack the country, to pass their communist agenda.
Democrats are always one step ahead of us. But this time I’m one step ahead. I figured out their latest scam.
What if the prediction markets aren’t on the up and up? What if Democrats figured out how to distort them? What if they’re now as fake as the polls?
That’s exactly what has happened.
Democrats figured out that the prediction markets were screwing up their fake polls. The American people no longer believed the polls. But what if the odds at the prediction markets matched the fake polls? Well then, that would give the fake polls credibility.
So, fake polls, combined with the fake prediction market odds, create fake psychology and can snatch a Democrat victory from the jaws of defeat.
What if this is happening in races all across America?
What if Democrat scammers figured out a way to game the system? How easy would it be to make that happen? It turns out very easy- if you have money to burn, if you have all the globalist billionaires on your side, if you’re friends with the enemies of America.
And that’s exactly what I believe has happened.
Most of the bettors at Polymarket and Kalshi are betting $10 and $20 and $100 and $1,000.
All it takes is $10,000 here and there to completely distort and change the odds in favor of Democrats who are losing- except now you’ve made it look like they’re winning (and maybe even winning big).
How about $100,000? What could you do to the odds at Polymarket with a $100,000 bet on Democrats?
A Republican who should be an overwhelming favorite could be turned into an overwhelming underdog.
Suddenly, the candidate look like a surefire loser. Which means his support, donations and even volunteers for his campaign could all dry up. Because no one likes a loser.
Remember Democrats are always flush with cash. They have the deep-pocketed unions. They have globalist billionaires like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham. And worst of all, Democrats are funded by foreign money. They are backed by China and the CCP, the Mexican Drug Cartels, and Iran.
America’s enemies win big, if Trump and the GOP are defeated.
Trillions of dollars are on the line if China wins the trade war (because Democrats are in charge)…if tariffs are off the table (because Democrats are in charge)…if the border is open (because Democrats are in charge)…if drug trafficking and human trafficking is flowing (because Democrats are in charge)…if America walks away from the Iran war with our tail between our legs (because Democrats are in charge).
Well guess what? It’s legal to bet at Polymarket in over 100 countries.
I believe foreign money from globalist billionaires and America’s enemies (like the CCP) are flowing into prediction markets with the goal of distorting the odds. To make it look like Democrats are winning easily- to match the fake polls.
Millions of dollars are chump change for billionaires and foreign countries like China.
Do you really believe James Talifreako is a huge favorite to win Texas? Or Democrats are an overwhelming favorite to win the US Senate? Really?
Prediction market odds are now as fake as polls. Simply spread $1 million around and all the odds explode in favor of Democrats- creating the false impression that the GOP is going to lose in a blue wave landslide.
It’s all a scam. And the result is Democrat voters are trusting false data- you know, like the Covid vaccine.
There is no blue wave. There is no Democrat landslide.
Can Democrats win the House? Sure. They have every historical advantage.
And Democrats cheat like crazy. They rig, and steal, and use fake ballots, and dead voters, and millions of illegal aliens voting with mail-in ballots- without Voter ID or proof of citizenship. They are even allowed- thanks to the Supreme Court- to count votes for days past Election Day.
On Election night, the GOP may be looking like winners- and seven days later, we may lose the House by a few stolen seats.
But we aren’t looking at a blue wave. And this won’t be an easy win for Democrats. I believe this election will be much closer than any of the experts predict. A few seats (maybe stolen seats) will decide the outcome in the House.
I do predict the GOP will hold the Senate. And Ken Paxton will win Texas. God bless Texas.
The polls are fake, and now I believe, so are the odds at the prediction markets.
Democrat voters are going to be shocked when they find out Trump isn’t “unpopular,” the GOP isn’t “doomed,” there is no blue wave, and there is no foregone conclusion about this election. Nothing is set in stone.
It’s up to you and me!
So, ignore the polls and prediction markets, and get out and vote- and take 10 friends, neighbors, and relatives with you.
Don’t let anyone or anything discourage you, demoralize you, psyche you out, or talk you into giving up your most precious right as an American- VOTING.
Only “WE THE PEOPLE” determine elections.
Vote like your future, and the future of your children, depends on it. Because it does.

Jim Cramer raises a red flag to stock market investors
Jim Cramer isn’t worried that artificial intelligence (AI) is a fad.
He’s worried that the companies building it are about to ask Wall Street for more money than it can comfortably hand over. The “Mad Money” host now sees a wave of giant stock sales as a real threat to the bull market.
The timing makes his warning hard to brush off. On October 26, Anthropic filed to go public, and Meta laid out plans for a massive share sale on the same day. For anyone with a 401(k), the fallout could matter even if they never buy a single new share.
Cramer warns that the market may be running out of money
Cramer laid out his concern on his October 26 show.
“I think both the debt market and the equity market are running out of money,” he said, before adding, “I just don’t like what I’m seeing right now.” He also made clear he wasn’t predicting a crash, saying, “I’m not calling the top.”
Also read: What Jim Cramer is watching as Anthropic heads to Nasdaq
His argument is about supply, not the quality of the companies. Cramer has said that today’s AI leaders are real businesses and many are making big money, unlike the shaky startups of the dot-com era. The danger, in his view, is the sheer size of the fundraising, which could pull cash away from other stocks even when their earnings look solid.
This isn’t a new theme for him. Back in August, Cramer told viewers that the stock market works like any other market.
“Too much supply and prices are going to be lower,” he said, warning that when new deals draw less interest, “the whole market, not just the IPOs, tends to get slammed.”
He sounded a similar alarm in July, as SpaceX, Alphabet and others rushed to raise money. “The bull will suffocate under the weight of all that new paper,” he warned at the time, as reported by TheStreet.
Even then, he said a pause in new offerings could still keep the rally alive.
A record year for selling stock
The numbers behind Cramer’s worry are big. Anthropic’s IPO could raise up to $100 billion, and the company plans to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT.” Its filing has not yet set the number of shares or the price.
Meta wants a similar sum. The company plans to raise $95 billion by selling shares, with $35 billion coming from underwritten offerings and $60 billion through an at-the-market program, to help pay for its AI build-out, according to Meta. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have signaled interest in buying some of those shares.
All of this comes on top of a year that has already broken records. U.S. IPOs have raised more than $148 billion so far in 2026, topping the roughly $142 billion raised in all of 2021. That comparison stands out because 2021 was the year right before the last bear market.
Cramer has pointed to that same figure as he watches Anthropic head to market.
He has questioned whether investors have enough capital to absorb the wave of AI listings, framing it as a supply problem rather than a sign the boom is over, according to TheStreet. He sees a bad quarter, a rate hike or a run on margin as more likely triggers than an outright top.

Why your 401(k) could feel the squeeze
Most Americans aren’t choosing whether to buy into the next big IPO through their retirement plans. But many own mutual funds or exchange-traded funds packed with large public companies. If investors sell those stocks to free up cash for new offerings, or start doubting that pricey AI bets will pay off, those funds could take a hit.
The mechanics are simple enough. Big new offerings are often funded by selling shares investors already own, and a crowded deal calendar can force fund managers to trim winners that have nothing to do with the new listings. That’s how a rush for capital can spill into the broader market.
More Jim Cramer:

A quick example shows the stakes. Say you have $300,000 in a 401(k), with 70% in stock funds. If those holdings fell 10% and the rest stayed flat, the account would lose $21,000, or 7% of its value. Your real results would depend on what you own.
There’s also the question of what these companies are bringing to market. Anthropic last raised money in May at a $965 billion valuation, and some investors have since floated figures as high as $2 trillion, according to TheStreet. Deals that size need a lot of buyers, and those buyers have to find the cash somewhere.
What savers can do now
Before making big changes, it’s worth checking what you already own. A broad stock fund may hold hundreds of companies, but large names can make up a bigger slice than many investors realize. You can also look at your mix of stocks and bonds and ask whether it still fits your timeline, since someone retiring soon has less time to recover from a drop.
Spreading money across different investments can help, though it has limits. Diversification can’t guarantee your investments won’t suffer if the market drops, but it can improve the odds that any loss is smaller.
Cramer himself isn’t telling anyone to run for the exits. He has said a pause in new offerings could still save the rally. Until that happens, his message is to stay alert as the biggest deals of the year hit the market.

Carvana CEO has surprising message for used-car buyers
Buying a used car can potentially feel like a good deal until the paperwork begins.
You’ve got the advertised price, the trade-in negotiation, financing terms, and sometimes an unexpected fee that changes what you thought you’d be paying. For Americans already struggling with vehicle costs, those surprises can make a stressful purchase even worse.
But Carvana CEO (CVNA) Ernie Garcia believes a major change could be coming to the way Americans buy cars.
During the company’s October 28 earnings call, Garcia described how artificial intelligence could play a role in streamlining a complicated transaction into a simple decision.
His comments also underscore an intriguing possibility for buyers accustomed to negotiating prices and navigating dealership fees. That said, the question remains if that convenience could translate into a more attractive deal.

Carvana CEO predicts a major change for used-car shoppers
Buying a car typically involves several steps, but Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia believes AI could potentially take that experience much further.
During the company’s October 28 earnings call, Garcia described a future in which AI agents could find suitable vehicles, calculate trade-in values, apply for financing, and present customers with their down payment, monthly bill, and delivery options.
Instead of working through each step separately, buyers may receive a nearly complete proposal and decide whether to accept it. Garcia said the technology could “effectively reduce digital friction to zero while leaving physical friction largely unchanged.”

In other words, AI might eliminate much of the shopping hassle, even though someone still needs to inspect, prepare, and deliver the vehicle.
And Carvana believes its existing business gives it an advantage.
“If we were starting from scratch today, we would build Carvana,” Garcia told analysts.
The company’s powerful earnings report helps explain his confidence.
Carvana sold a record 217,385 retail vehicles in Q3, up 39% from a year earlier, while revenue jumped 42% to $8.04 billion. Those results become even more impressive considering the fact that the management described the broader used-car market as roughly flat.
Rather than waiting for more Americans to buy cars, Carvana is attracting a larger share of existing shoppers.
Moreover, its net income also climbed to $483 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached a record $800 million.
But Garcia’s comments point to something beyond convenience.
An AI assistant capable of comparing actual purchase costs could also reveal something shoppers have struggled with for years, which is how much a vehicle really costs once dealer fees, add-ons, and financing enter the picture.
Why car prices, dealer fees and financing remain a problem
I’ve bought a car online, and I’d tell you first-hand that the car’s advertised price doesn’t always tell the whole story.
A car might look affordable online, only for documentation fees, mandatory add-ons, or financing terms to change the final amount.
Federal regulators are trying to make those surprises harder to hide.
In September, the Federal Trade Commission issued guidance clarifying that advertised vehicle prices must include mandatory dealer charges, including required documentation fees and add-ons. Government-required charges are generally excluded.
The guidance explains existing legal obligations rather than introducing a blanket ban on dealer fees. Garcia believes greater transparency could help consumers compare competing offers.
“It aids in price discovery and value understanding for our customers, and we think that’s great,” he said.
That’s doubly important when affordability is already stretched.
The average used-car asking price reached $27,235 in September, its highest monthly level since December 2022, according to Cox Automotive data cited by Autotrader.
Meanwhile, Edmunds reported that Americans financing used vehicles in the third quarter borrowed an average of $30,703, paid 10.6% annual interest, and faced monthly payments averaging $582.
Consider what a one-percentage-point rate reduction could mean.
On a hypothetical $30,703 loan lasting 70 months, lowering the APR from 10.6% to 9.6% would save approximately $15 per month, or about $1,080 over the loan’s term.
Garcia said the company has lowered customer interest rates by more than one percentage point over two years. However, executives acknowledged that some increases in benchmark rates are still passed through to borrowers.
For shoppers, the lesson is straightforward: compare the full purchase price, APR, and total loan cost, not just the monthly payment. AI could make those comparisons easier. But even perfect price transparency cannot make expensive cars or high borrowing costs disappear.
What Carvana’s shopping vision means for buyers and the stock
For Carvana investors, Garcia’s comments indicate that the company’s next growth opportunity would come from making online car shopping even easier.
On top of that, the retailer already has momentum.
Despite selling more than 217,000 vehicles last quarter, Garcia said Carvana still holds just over 2% of the used-car market. That leaves considerable room to gain customers without requiring the overall market to expand.
And management expects Q4 retail sales to increase again, assuming economic conditions remain stable.
But there’s a catch. More shoppers discovering Carvana through AI doesn’t automatically mean the company can serve them.
Executives acknowledged that the number of vehicles immediately available on its website isn’t growing nearly as quickly as sales. Expanding inspection, reconditioning and delivery capacity remains essential.
Growth is also expensive.
Although adjusted EBITDA reached a record $800 million, Carvana’s adjusted EBITDA margin slipped to 10% from 11.3% a year earlier. Higher fuel and logistics expenses added pressure, while efforts to offer customers better financing terms also affected profitability.
The company expects full-year adjusted EBITDA toward the upper end of its $2.7 billion to $3 billion guidance range.
For shareholders, the challenge is turning sales into sustainable profits. For buyers, Garcia’s vision promises something different which involves fewer obstacles between finding a car and understanding the deal.

Here’s What They’re Desperate To Hide…
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity,GB News has released exclusive analysis of British police data showing a clear spike in reported crime in areas around three hotels used to house illegal migrants.Between September 2023 and August 2026 there were 673 crime and antisocial behavior reports at map points right by the sites in Bournemouth.Violence and sexual offenses formed the largest category, with 259 reports. Across the road from one hotel those offenses ran at almost three times the local average.‘We can reveal significant numbers of violent and sexual offences around three sites.’ @PatrickChristys reveals exclusive data that confirms a spike in crime in areas where asylum seekers are housed. pic.twitter.com/6bMfh1gHUT— GB News (@GBNEWS) October 27, 2026
The Home Office continues to insist there is “no evidence of rising crime” at its other sites. Local people, and the data now published, say otherwise.Patrick Christys presented the figures on GB News, building on earlier work that has repeatedly found elevated crime reports near migrant accommodation.This is the same pattern residents have described in other towns. Seaside resorts that once relied on tourism now host large numbers of mostly young male arrivals from cultures with sharply different norms around women.Previous reporting has already logged specific cases in Bournemouth and similar locations: a Syrian refugee convicted of rape after carrying a woman into a cubicle, a failed asylum seeker from Trinidad convicted after following a woman home, and an Eritrean migrant convicted of knocking a woman unconscious outside a nightclub.One widely shared example of the kind of offender involved is Somali migrant Dahir Ibrahim. He was convicted in 2006 of raping three women at knifepoint, successfully challenged deportation, then went on to rape two more women at knifepoint after release.He later won a court case against an NHS trust over the timing of prescribed codeine during Ramadan, arguing it breached his human rights.UK: Somalian migrant Dahir Ibrahim has raped so many women at knifepoint in the UK it is almost unbelievable.

While local crime figures leak out through independent analysis, the government is actively fighting in court to stop the release of national conviction data broken down by nationality.The Centre for Migration Control submitted a Freedom of Information request for convictions from 2018 to 2024 by nationality and offence type. The Information Commissioner ordered the Ministry of Justice to release the data. Instead of complying, the department launched a legal appeal.EXC: The Labour government is going to court to block the publication of migrant crime statistics.The public deserves to know how many murders, rapes, and drug-related deaths are the result of uncontrolled migration .

Families of victims, including those of Rhiannon Whyte who was murdered by a Sudanese asylum seeker, have demanded transparency. Partial existing figures already show foreign nationals accounting for 14.1 per cent of sexual offence convictions in one recent year and being significantly more likely to be imprisoned for certain offenses than British citizens. The government prefers to keep the full picture sealed.The consistent pattern across multiple European countries is higher rates of certain violent and sexual offenses among some migrant groups. British ministers appear determined that the public should not be allowed to see the equivalent national breakdown.Independent analysts have tried to fill the gap. One thread shows daily court data being scraped by surname, producing results that match the pattern already visible in partial official figures.You’ll never guess what he found… https://t.co/Tz9YpLdwXc— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) October 26, 2026
On the same day the Bournemouth figures circulated, the Daily Mail reported that the Home Office is receiving another £150 million in capital funding for additional large-scale asylum centers, primarily on former military bases.Treasury documents state the money is to “fund additional large sites to accommodate asylum seekers and facilitate the government’s commitment to end the use of asylum hotels.”Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp responded: “This shows the Government has no intention whatsoever of stopping illegal immigrants or deporting them. Instead they will be accommodated here.”Home Office gets £150million for more large-scale asylum centres, as Tories warn it shows Labour has ‘no intention whatsoever’ of stopping and deporting illegal immigrants https://t.co/fxgsFNU9S7— Daily Mail (@DailyMail) October 28, 2026
The plan simply moves the same population from hotels into bigger, more concentrated sites while communities near Wethersfield, Crowborough, proposed bases at Linton-on-Ouse and others continue to object.Closing hotels was sold as a cost-saving and community measure. The new spending shows the underlying policy remains open-ended accommodation rather than deterrence and removal.Ministers continue to expand the asylum estate, block the data that would allow voters to judge the results, and treat local objections as secondary to the rights of those who arrived illegally. The public is told there is nothing to see. The police reports, the court cases, and the independent counts keep showing otherwise.The hotels can be emptied. The new sites can be cancelled. The data can be published. None of those steps requires a new law or a new treaty. They require a government that treats the safety of existing residents as the priority rather than the continued operation of an industry built around housing and supporting large numbers of unvetted arrivals.

Netanyahu falls short of majority as Israel faces three possible paths to a new government
TEL AVIV, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition remained well short of a parliamentary majority Thursday as newly counted ballots showed a dramatic surge in support for Arab parties, potentially giving the opposition enough votes to challenge his control of parliament.With 93.8% of ballots counted as of 4 a.m. ET Thursday (10 a.m. local time in Israel), including votes from the double-envelope count, Netanyahu’s right-wing and religious bloc was projected to win 53 seats in Israel’s 120-member Knesset, compared with 48 for the opposition bloc led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot. The two predominantly Arab parties were projected to secure a combined 19 seats, bringing the potential anti-Netanyahu parliamentary majority to 67.The updated figures showed Netanyahu’s Likud remaining the largest individual party with 26 seats, followed by Eisenkot’s Yashar party with 21 and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s Beyachad party with 12. The figures remain preliminary.NETANYAHU DEFIES EXIT POLLS AS VOTE SHIFTS IN HIS FAVOR, BUT MAJORITY REMAINS ELUSIVEThe results leave neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot with the 61 seats required to form a government independently, raising the prospect of difficult coalition negotiations or another election.The biggest shift came from Israel’s Arab voters, whose turnout surged compared with previous elections, potentially reshaping the country’s political balance.Arab voter participation reached approximately 80%, compared with 53.2% in the 2022 election, according to the Israel Democracy Institute. The 2026 figure remains preliminary.The Joint List was projected to win 11 seats, while Ra’am was projected to secure eight. Together, their 19 seats would nearly double the Arab parties’ representation from the 10 seats they won in 2022.Overall voter turnout reached 77.7% by the official 10 p.m. closing time on election night, the highest level at that hour since 1999, according to Israel’s Central Elections Committee.The increased Arab participation could prove decisive in determining the next government’s composition. Although Eisenkot and several other opposition leaders ruled out including Arab parties in their governing coalition during the campaign, their parliamentary support could allow the opposition to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, a Netanyahu ally, and gain greater control over the legislative agenda even before a new government is formed.IRAN IS TRYING TO ‘CREATE A ROT FROM WITHIN’ THROUGH ‘INFORMATION WARFARE,’ ANALYST WARNSThe political stakes intensified Thursday following a Channel 12 report alleging that substantial sums originating in Qatar may have been transferred to influence voter participation in Arab communities.According to N12, some of the funds allegedly traveled through financial channels previously used to transfer money to terrorist organizations, including currency exchanges.The allegations have not been independently substantiated, and investigators have yet to establish whether foreign financing occurred or whether election-related crimes were committed.Channel 12 reported that Shin Bet Director David Zini presented intelligence concerning suspected foreign interference to Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg, prompting the judge to order an investigation.In a letter published by N12, Sohlberg instructed the domestic security agency to investigate the allegations and identify evidence that could either substantiate or disprove them. He requested findings within one week, citing the limited time available during the election count.The judge’s letter did not publicly identify Qatar as the suspected foreign actor. That identification came from N12’s reporting.Qatar strongly denied the allegations Thursday, accusing Israeli politicians of attempting to drag the Gulf nation into Israel’s domestic political disputes following the election.”We categorically deny allegations that Qatar has interfered in Israeli elections or funded any activities intended to influence their outcome,” Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Dr. Majed Al-Ansari wrote on X.Al-Ansari accused Israeli politicians and their allies in the media of launching a “disinformation campaign,” saying Qatar had been accused of financing Netanyahu, the Israeli left and now Arab voters.”If these claims were to be believed, Qatar would apparently own all of Israel,” he wrote. “Qatar should not be used as a scapegoat for the political failures of certain Israeli politicians,” Al-Ansari added, insisting that Qatar had no involvement in Israel’s electoral process and would continue its diplomatic and humanitarian efforts in the region.Acting Central Elections Committee director general Dean Livne also rejected the allegations in a letter to Yesh Atid MK Vladimir Beliak, who sits on the committee. “The Knesset elections were conducted lawfully. The integrity of the elections at polling stations was rigorously safeguarded, and to the best of our knowledge, there is no basis for allegations of systematic violations of election integrity.”But the allegations quickly became part of the political confrontation over whether opposition parties should cooperate with Arab lawmakers.ISRAEL HEADS INTO DEEPLY DIVIDED ELECTION AS OCT. 7 RECKONING LOOMS: WHAT TO KNOWNetanyahu and Likud had already challenged the legitimacy of the Arab parties’ electoral gains. On Wednesday, before the latest Qatari allegations emerged, Likud accused Arab parties of stealing the election through alleged voter fraud, accusations that had not been substantiated.In a statement Thursday, Likud argued that the suspected foreign interference made cooperation with the Arab parties unacceptable.”After it became clear that foreign actors attempted to take control of the Knesset, it is obvious that no Zionist party must cooperate with Ra’am and the Joint List, replace the Knesset speaker using votes bought with cash, or establish a government dangerous to Israel,” the party said.The assertion that parliamentary seats were obtained through purchased votes has not been established by the investigation.Hauser Tov, a political reporter for Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, argued on X that the statement revealed Likud’s immediate political objective: preventing the opposition from using its potential parliamentary majority to replace the Knesset speaker.Israeli journalist Amir Tibon wrote on X that “The main reason they want to prevent this is so that the Knesset won’t vote to establish a state commission of inquiry into October 7.” He argued that such an investigation could examine Qatari involvement in Gaza and Israel.Eisenkot responded to the allegations Thursday, after meeting with Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) Director David Zini. “Foreign involvement in Israel is unacceptable and profoundly serious, particularly when it involves a country that funds and supports Hamas,” Eisenkot said. “It is serious when it occurs in the Prime Minister’s Office, and it is serious if it occurs in the electoral process.”He called on the Shin Bet to investigate the allegations thoroughly and take the strongest possible action against anyone found to have attempted to compromise the election’s integrity.Eisenkot also accused Netanyahu and his allies of conducting “an illegitimate influence operation targeting the Israeli public,” claiming its purpose was to delay the publication of the results and undermine the legitimacy of the newly elected Knesset.Israeli political commentator Amit Segal also cautioned against assuming the allegations would lead to the cancellation of election results.”The likelihood of the entire election being invalidated is extremely slim, given the time constraints,” Segal wrote on X. He suggested the developments could instead intensify discussions about a unity government or another election.Meanwhile, Democrats party leader Yair Golan urged opposition leaders to move quickly toward forming a new government.”The people have spoken. Sixty-seven seats demanded change,” Golan wrote Thursday on X, adding that he intended to spend the day meeting with political partners and coalition negotiators. “I intend to leave no stone unturned, act in every possible way and do everything necessary to fulfill the voters’ will,” he added.The comments underscored the central question emerging from the election: whether parties united in their opposition to Netanyahu can overcome their differences, particularly over cooperation with Arab lawmakers.Another possibility is a national unity coalition involving Netanyahu’s Likud and Eisenkot’s Yashar party, potentially excluding the Arab parties and Netanyahu’s far-right allies.Such an arrangement could also align with the preferences of figures close to President Donald Trump, who publicly endorsed Netanyahu ahead of the election.According to Ynet diplomatic correspondent Itamar Eichner, sources close to Trump said the president wants to ensure that far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is excluded from the next Israeli government, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich potentially excluded as well.A separate Ynet report said Trump associates had contacted Israeli political figures to assess the prospects for a unity government and expressed a preference for a stable coalition without Ben-Gvir.Trump himself has not publicly endorsed a specific unity arrangement.Asked Wednesday by Axios whether he would become involved in efforts to establish a Netanyahu-led unity government, Trump said, “I will take a look.”A unity government involving Netanyahu and Eisenkot would face substantial obstacles. Eisenkot repeatedly pledged during the campaign not to join a Netanyahu-led government, while Netanyahu’s far-right partners have warned against efforts to exclude them.The ultra-Orthodox parties present another potential route to a parliamentary majority. Netanyahu’s projected 53 seats include 14 held by Shas and United Torah Judaism, which have traditionally aligned with him.Those 14 seats, combined with Eisenkot’s projected 48-seat opposition bloc, would mathematically produce a 62-seat majority. But such an arrangement would face major disagreements over military conscription, as Eisenkot has pledged to expand mandatory service to ultra-Orthodox men, while the religious parties have sought to preserve exemptions for yeshiva students.Political divisions within Eisenkot’s own bloc would present additional obstacles to such a coalition.For now, the foreign interference allegations remain under investigation, while the election results continue to show Netanyahu’s existing coalition without the parliamentary majority required to govern on its own.Netanyahu will remain caretaker prime minister until a new government is formed, a process that could take weeks or longer.
