Par AFP Par Yaelle IFRAH, Anouk RIONDET © 2026 AFP Le centriste Gadi Eisenkot s'est engagé mardi à former un nouveau gouvernement "le plus vite possible" pour remplacer celui de son rival Benjamin Netanyahu, peu avant la première session d'un Parlement profondément remanié.L'opposition, en position de force, a en ligne de mire plusieurs dossiers sensibles, en premier lieu la création d'une commission d'enquête sur le 7-Octobre et d'éventuelles défaillances du Premier ministre sortant. "Je m'engage à former un gouvernement d'urgence nationale le plus vite possible", a déclaré M. Eisenkot en arrivant à la Knesset, où les députés doivent prêter serment vers 14H00 GMT.Cette nouvelle législature s'ouvre dans un paysage politique transformé, après des élections législatives qui ont privé le Premier ministre sortant et ses alliés de leur majorité parlementaire.Le bloc de Benjamin Netanyahu a recueilli 53 sièges à l'issue du scrutin mais entretemps, les sept députés du parti Judaïsme unifié de la Torah (JUT, ultra-orthodoxe) ont pris leur distance. Gadi Eisenkot et ses alliés en ont eux 48, soit en deçà des 61 sièges nécessaires pour obtenir la majorité absolue ... Continue Reading »

Par AFP © 2026 AFP Le Rassemblement national, en recherche de financement pour la campagne présidentielle de Marine Le Pen, a trouvé un pré-accord avec deux banques européennes pour un prêt de 10,6 millions d'euros, a indiqué mardi à l'AFP son trésorier."Nous sommes en discussion très avancées avec deux banques non françaises mais européennes", a déclaré Kévin Pfeffer, confirmant une information de BFMTV et de franceinfo.Ces établissements, dont il n'a pas dévoilé le nom, devraient lui donner une réponse "d'ici la fin du mois", a-t-il ajouté. "Assez optimiste" quant à l'obtention de ce prêt, il se félicite que ce préaccord reconnaisse "la fiabilité et la crédibilité du dossier du parti qui offre toutes les garanties nécessaires". À part les dons, le seul moyen pour un parti de financer sa campagne présidentielle est d'obtenir un prêt auprès de banques.Et le RN peine, comme à chaque élection, à trouver une banque pour lui prêter les 10,7 millions d'euros de frais de campagne remboursables par l'Etat aux candidats qui se qualifient au second tour. Une ambition pourtant tout à fait à la portée de Marine Le Pen très largement en tête dans les sondages.Le gouvernement avait fait savoir cet été qu’il ... Continue Reading »

Les députés vont décider s'ils classent ou examinent le texte, mais ne se prononcent en aucun cas sur une éventuelle fermeture de la chaîne.La pétition, examinée depuis 13H00 par la commission des Affaires culturelles de l'Assemblée, devrait échapper au classement, selon une source parlementaire.Un examen pourrait ouvrir la voie à un débat dans l'hémicycle, sans toutefois le garantir. Et ce débat sans vote à l'issue garderait une portée limitée.Sans attendre, le député écologiste Benjamin Lucas-Landy a mis en cause les parlementaires qui s'opposeraient à un débat."On va savoir aujourd'hui si, après s'être acheté des chaînes de télé, des chaînes de radio, s'être acheté des maisons d'édition ou que sais-je encore, si monsieur Bolloré peut s'acheter aussi des parlementaires", a-t-il lancé en conférence de presse.Plusieurs députés, dont le candidat à la présidentielle Renaissance Gabriel Attal, ont, eux, plaidé pour un débat plus général, portant sur les enjeux de pluralisme dans les médias.Lancée en juin par un particulier sur la plateforme de l'Assemblée, la pétition compare la chaîne d'information à "une machine de propagande" ...

CPI Prints Hotter Than Expected; 50bps Rate-Hike Now On The Table As Fed's Waller Sparks Hawkish Panic With today's CPI print (and its 'ghost' YoY data and healthcare plug) on everyone's mind, hawkish comments from Fed Governor Chris Waller already gave markets a jolt this morning, pushing bond yields off their lows, with the biggest moves at the US short-end. “If, as I expect, the monthly rate of inflation improves in October, I am leaning toward supporting an increase in our policy rate of 25 basis points,” Waller said in a speech in London.“But if the October CPI inflation data out later today are similar to the past two monthly readings — with core CPI inflation around 0.3% or even higher — then a stronger policy move may be needed,” he said. “In that case, I believe a 50 basis point hike in the policy rate should be considered at the December meeting.”The remarks sent the dollar higher, stocks lower, and pushed Dec rate-hike odds to almost certainty (well 100% odds of a 25bp hike, not 50bps)...And that's before the CPI print...Headline Consumer Prices rose 0.4% MoM (vs +0.3% MoM exp ...

Futures Stall As Waller Threatens 50bps Hike Hours Before CPI; Brent Breaks Below $90 US futures are flat as a Waller hawkish curveball, hours before the October CPI report, took the air out of Wall Street's best session in six months, while oil extended its slide on US-Iran diplomacy hopes and the Claude-maker Anthropic lined up what could be the biggest IPO ever; as a result the 2Y yield jumped 5bps to 4.61% and a December rate hike is now fully priced.

"Angry Voters": What Are We Angry About? Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,Maybe voters are frustrated that no matter who they elect, nothing in the economic machinery of soaring inequality, debt and servitude changes.Here's the mainstream summary of the midterm election results: Angry Voters Usher in Beginning of the End to the Trump Era. And what are voters angry about? It's a fairly lengthy shopping list:"Many voters told pollsters and interviewers that they felt hoodwinked by Mr. Trump, believing that he was going to bring down prices and not start new wars. They expected him to close the border, but bristled at what they saw as heavy-handed arrests of people living in the country for years. They rebelled against the tariffs that increased costs for consumers."OK, fair enough. Those are all legitimate issues. But I submit voters are also angry about a reality larger than any of those issues: no matter which party they vote for, nothing changes. Scrape off the culture wars hot-button topics designed to inflame the loyalists and generate conveniently distracting rage and indignation, and we find that nothing actually changes in what matters to the ...

Nordic Power Prices Could Soar This Winter As Hydropower Reserves Plunge Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice,Low water levels in hydropower reservoirs and soaring natural gas prices are putting upward pressure on power prices in the Nordic countries as winter approaches, Denmark-based energy trader Mind Energy says.The surge in gas prices and potentially reduced hydropower generation in southern Norway and Sweden could lead to price spikes this winter, especially if there are prolonged periods of low wind speeds, the analysts said.In its November recap insight, Mind Energy said that "Winter is upon us, and panic is evident across the European energy markets, which had clearly underestimated the seriousness of the situation earlier in the year."The price spikes in European natural gas prices in October and the "severe hydrological pressure on the Nordics ahead of winter" could send electricity prices soaring in the coming months, according to the analysts.Chart shows US and EU NatGas prices in USD/volume equivs (EU NG 8x US)The Nordics will enter the heating season with noticeably less water in the system than normal at this time of year, Mind Energy reckons, adding that in the southernmost ...

France Blames Iran For Cyberattack That Paralyzed Supermarket Freezers, Vows Retaliation For "Sabotage" France accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of masterminding last month's cyberattack, which disrupted 700 of the country's 10,000 supermarkets and struck deep inside the country's food supply chain.Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said earlier today in Paris that the IRGC's operation marked the first large-scale cyberattack aimed at sabotage on French territory. Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 ministerial meeting, he said France had summoned Iran's ambassador on the matter and was seeking sanctions against the group responsible. "This is the first large-scale cyberattack with an aim of sabotage on the national territory," Barrot said. "It hurts the nation's interests and the security of French citizens. We will take sanctions at the European level against all who are responsible" and "we will take any other proportionate and necessary measure to respond to this attack and dissuade those who would like to reproduce it."Happening across Europe. Hackers are hitting supermarket refrigeration systems: 50°C in the freezers, everything trashed. Empty shelves in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, Finland and Estonia. France was hit first. This is ... Continue Reading »

Why Are So Many British Charities Lobbying For Open Borders? Authored by Joanna Williams via Spiked,Next time someone rattles a tin, and you reach for a couple of quid to help rough sleepers, starving donkeys or sick children, think twice. It's long been clear that major charities are run like businesses; less well known is that they receive vast sums of taxpayers' money. And while it might be understandable that big charities try to influence government policy to further their aims, some stretch this role to campaign on issues far removed from the cause they claim to support.Take immigration. This week, home secretary Shabana Mahmood backed down on her plan to extend the amount of time immigrants must work in the care sector before qualifying for indefinite leave to remain in the UK. By her own admission, this decision will cost the British public billions of pounds. So what brought about her u-turn? Mahmood was obviously under pressure to appease Labour left-wingers offended by the mere suggestion of border controls. Then there was the government's sham 'consultation', in which almost three-quarters of respondents were immigrants themselves. Alongside this came ... Continue Reading »

'Clownery & Consequences': France Bows To The Reality Of Its Debt Crisis Authored by Thomas Kolbe via American Thinker,Tax-advantaged bonds reserved for French citizens, a debt write-off at the ECB, or shifting part of the bill onto the Germans -- France's approach to its national debt is at times creative, at times brazen. Above all, this curious collection of ideas reveals complete helplessness in dealing with public finances.When societies drift toward central planning and state-run economies, only nuances separate political clownery from its disastrous real-world consequences. Political initiative turns into permanent intervention -- and eventually, the resources run out. At the moment when fiscal reality hits, political elites appear overwhelmed and helpless.France, in particular, has taken its state-run economy and welfare system a long way. The latter has settled over society like a sedative. In its naïve belief in the omnipotence of the state, the country has spiraled into a debt trap.In an effort to create some financial breathing room, the parliamentary LIOT group (Libertés, Indépendants, Outre-mer et Territoires) presented an unusual proposal. It wants to raise a kind of citizen loan worth 50 billion euros, financed through government bonds available ... Continue Reading »

What Could The Eurasian Order Look Like If Trump Cuts A Series Of Deals To Save MAGA? Authored by Andrew Korybko via Andrew Korybko's Newsletter,The purpose in sharing this scenario forecast is to generate a discussion within Trump 2.0 and among experts in Russia, Iran, and China about the political feasibility of the proposed compromises aimed at stabilizing Eurasia and facilitating a MAGA comeback in 2028.It was earlier assessed that "MAGA Can Only Be Saved By Trump Cutting Grand Deals With Russia, Iran, & China" that advance some of their most sensitive interests in order to reduce the risk of them from raising Americans' cost of living at MAGA's expense in 2028. Each compromise would have second-order consequences for their regions and could lead to more dealmaking by Trump to wrap up the loose ends that could derail his dream of a MAGA comeback. The resultant Eurasian Order will now be detailed.Beginning with Russia as elaborated on here more at length, the US' compromises would be to withdraw most or all of its forces from post-1997 NATO members with the possible removal of its nuclear umbrella over them, though ...

Senate Republicans Revolt Against Their Own Leaders A bloc of Senate Republicans led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is pushing to postpone Tuesday's GOP leadership elections, arguing that the conference needs time to examine its midterm election losses before it picks the leaders who will guide it in the minority. Sen. Ron Johnson and Sen. Rick Scott. (Finn Gomez/Getty Images) Democrats won control of the Senate with 54 seats, and that total could climb depending on the outcomes of the races in Mississippi and Alaska. Republicans expect Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to seek another term as the chamber's top Republican when the conference votes Tuesday morning.Johnson made his case in a letter to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who chairs the Senate Republican Conference, according to a copy Fox News Digital obtained. He asked that the election wait "until we all have a chance to hear from leadership candidates as to what type of collaborative conference governing model we should adopt and what our strategy will be to counter the emboldened Democrats.""Tuesday's result was a stunning defeat, and there are multiple reasons for it," Johnson wrote. "We need to have ... Continue Reading »
