🇫🇷 Pierre Brochand, former director of France's Foreign Intelligence Service (DGSE) warns that if immigration, legal and illegal, isn't curbed, the French state's authority will crumble Bronchand opens the interview admitting that immigration has been bad…🇫🇷 Ex-director of the Direction générale de la Sécurité extérieure (DGSE), Pierre Brochand warns that the civil unrest seen in France in the last 2 months will "become more frequent and the violence will be more intense than before".Speaking to the newspaper, Le Figaro, Pierre Brochand begins the interview by saying that the scale and intensity of the unrest was "uncommon but not unforeseeable".In his view, the events of 17 October are not an isolated phenomenon. It distinguishes the riots triggered after an incident with the police (2005 race riots, the 2023 race riots caused by the death of Nahel Merzouk), the recurrent violence on certain dates (New Year, 14th July, Halloween marked by explosions caused by fireworks and firecrackers) and those that are grafted on demonstrations related to social or political issues. He classifies the October unrest in this third category and insists on the extent of the looting.Regarding the looting, Pierre Brochand believes that “a huge red line has been crossed”. Above all, he warns: “Eruptions of violence should reoccur, with increased frequency and intensity.” He further stressed that the intensity and recurrence of looting "acts like a bank run during a monetary crisis" for social trust and "once set in motion, the process becomes very difficult to halt once it passes a certain threshold".Brochand criticised the French press who dismisses the rioting as "an opportunistic transfer of wealth" warning that the motivation of the "youths of the banlieues" is to "take from the coloniser what the latter allegedly dispossessed their ancestors of".Trying to find the root cause of the unrest, Brochand points to the ideology of the May 1968 riots which emancipated the individual in French society and turned Charles de Gaulle and the nation state he sought to build into the principal enemy for threatening to take away the rights of the individual and the "responsibility" nation states carry for past tragedies (never again). "Without realising it, we have undermined that indispensable foundation of social peace: the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence. We have ceaselessly stripped the sovereign – through legislative and judicial erosion – of its legal, moral and physical prerogatives. Today we are lamenting this unilateral disarmament. It is a very steep slope to climb back up, for in the meantime it has fostered a strong sense of impunity amongst malevolent forces" added the former DGSE director.Discussing the social forces responsible for the unrest, the former foreign intelligence official describes an alliance of circumstance between ultra-leftist activists and part of the "youth of the banlieue/suburbs". Paraphrasing former Chinese premier, Zhou Enlai, Brochand added: "they sleep in the same bed, but do not share the same dreams", the leftist activists and the youths of the suburbs may riot together but at the end of the day, their goals are different. Brochand says that the leftists are a minority are manipulating the middle class youth who still is majority of European descent, although increasingly becoming Arabicised and Africanised, taking advantage of the increasing uncertainty facing contemporary teenagers and young adults. The violence, says the former director, is used by the leftists because its their only way to impose their views on the wider society and when it comes to violence, said Pierre Brochand, they heavily rely on the non-European youth.On finding ways to combat future episodes of unrest, Pierre Brochand considers that the strengthening of the police system during the demonstrations of 24 October has allowed a better control of the situation, but doubts that it is enough in the longer term. He advocates for more centralisation and more power given to the state considering that the critical infrastructure on which France relies is too fragmented by being in the hands of many private operators. He proposes that judges hand over collective sentences to rioters rather than send to trial every rioter individually. He support expanding surveillance with facial recognition technology, AIs and communication between databases to speed up identification.🔗 https://unwall.app/www.lefigaro.fr/vox/societe/des-eruptions-de-violence-devraient-se-reproduire-avec-une-frequence-et-une-intensite-accrue-l-analyse-exclusive-de-pierre-brochand-ancien-patron-de-la-dgse-20261026

🇨🇳🇬🇭 China’s Huayou acquires Ghana lithium project rights, assumes $66mn funding commitmentChina’s Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt has completed the acquisition of Elevra Lithium’s interests in Ghana’s Ewoyaa lithium project, assuming rights to a 22.5% interest in Atlantic Lithium’s Ghanaian lithium portfolio, including Ewoyaa, and an obligation to fund up to $66mn in outstanding development expenditure.Under the existing project agreements, Huayou will provide up to $66mn in outstanding expenditure under a $70mn sole-funding commitment. Subject to those agreements, the funding would earn Huayou an additional 27.5% interest in Atlantic Lithium’s Ghanaian portfolio, taking its total interest to 50%. Subsequent development costs would be shared equally between the partners.The completed project transaction comes as Huayou pursues a separate acquisition of Atlantic Lithium, valued at approximately $210mn, or about $0.25 per share in cash, under an agreement announced in May. Huayou chairman and president Chen Hongliang said at the time that the deal “complements our existing battery metal mining operations in Africa”.The proposed takeover would give Huayou control of Atlantic Lithium itself, potentially consolidating the private-sector interests in Ewoyaa currently covered by the joint-venture arrangements.Ewoyaa is intended to become Ghana’s first commercial lithium mine, producing spodumene concentrate for further processing into lithium chemicals used in rechargeable batteries.Ghana’s Parliament ratified the project’s mining lease in March 2026, the first lithium mining lease to be granted and ratified in the country, following the granting of environmental and mine operating permits in 2024.Ewoyaa’s development comes as Ghana prepares restrictions on exports of unprocessed minerals by 2030. President John Dramani Mahama said on October 19 that investors seeking access to the country’s bauxite, manganese, iron and lithium would face processing obligations under a phased ban, although mineral-specific deadlines and detailed regulations have yet to be published.Because Ewoyaa is designed to produce spodumene concentrate rather than battery-grade lithium chemicals, Huayou’s immediate commitment is to advance the existing mining project under its inherited funding obligations, rather than establish downstream lithium refining in Ghana.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/china-s-huayou-acquires-ghana-lithium-project-rights-assumes-66mn-funding-commitment-479226/

🇨🇳🤝🇦🇫 China, after nearly a century, is poised to agree a transformative border opening with Afghanistan that would make possible the creation of a cargo corridor running all the way from the East China Sea to the Persian Gulf. With the US renewing its blockading…🇦🇫🇨🇳 Taliban complete Afghanistan road to China – but Beijing keeps border firmly shutThe Taliban completed their road to the Chinese border – but were met with a frosty silence from across the frontier, according to multiple local reports.As explained by a feature published by IntelliNews in May, the Islamist politico-militant group that governs Afghanistan are the latest rulers of the country to dream of “opening up Wakhan Corridor, the mountain valley that connects three worlds”. But the road has been built only in the hope that China will play ball. Still addressing sensitive considerations such as what would an open border with Afghanistan mean for the Chinese territory that borders the country, majority-Muslim Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), Beijing is yet to show whether it will do so.RFE/RL has reported that for the early October inauguration of the road, China did not send representatives or officially acknowledge the event. The militarised boundary remained firmly shut, with images from the inauguration showing Chinese security cameras watching from behind razor wire.Zhu Yongbiao, director of the Center for Afghanistan Studies at China’s Lanzhou University, told RFE/RL that the chances of Beijing opening the mountain pass border checkpoing any time soon “are extremely low.”“Afghanistan's economy is very small and its value to China is negligible,” Zhu reportedly said, adding: “Meanwhile, the financial costs and security risks associated with opening the route would be substantial.” Afghanistan’s main exports to China are pine nuts, dried apricots and gemstones.The Wakhan Corridor is a narrow, protruding strip of land in northeastern Afghanistan, sandwiched between China, Pakistan and Tajikistan.The 350-kilometre (217-mile) mountain valley is nestled high in the Pamir Mountains in the province of Badakhshan. The width of this rugged strip of land dividing Tajikistan from Pakistan is just 13 km (eight miles) in places. Likely once trodden by luminaries including Alexander the Great and Marco Polo, its potential is fascinating.If the high valley was made generally accessible and developed for modern trade flows, it would serve as a fabulous, even stupendous, link between Central, South and East Asia. Landlocked Central Asia would finally gain a clear road into Pakistan and thus the access to the ocean sought for so long by the region, Pakistani commerce would enjoy a short path into Central Asia and Afghanistan would have a direct trade passage into China. It would also become a route to the world’s second largest economy likely favoured by Iran.In opening up corridors for international trade, in this part of the world, China’s chosen path has diverged from Wakhan, instead concentrating on the utility provided by the $62bn China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It stretches from Kashgar in Xinjiang, across the Karakoram mountain range on China’s border with Pakistan and through to the Pakistani strategic deep-water port of Gwadar on the Arabian Sea.In Beijing’s thinking, Afghanistan and Central Asia should enjoy access to CPEC infrastructure via link-through routes opened up on Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan, but this concept runs counter to the ambitions of the Taliban to conduct trade with China through Afghanistan’s own sole border with its giant neighbour at the end of the Wakhan Corridor.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/taliban-complete-afghanistan-road-to-china-but-beijing-keeps-border-firmly-shut-479103/

🇵🇱 From 2019 to 2026, the number of Third World foreign residents in Poland went from 3554 to 165,160. With most of the influx actually starting 2022-23, this is a roughly 50x increase in 3-4 years, equivalent to nearly 0.5% of Poland's population and 70%…🇵🇱 Poland’s population shrinks by 165,000Poland’s population fell by 165,000 year on year (y/y) to just over 37.21mn at the end of September, as deaths continued to outnumber births substantially, the statistical office GUS said on October 23.The figures underscore Poland’s worsening demographic challenges, which threaten to exacerbate labour shortages, constrain long-term economic growth and increase pressure on the pension and healthcare systems.The population was 121,000 smaller than at the end of 2025, a 0.32% decline in just nine months, compared with 0.3% in the same period last year.Poland recorded approximately 176,000 live births between January and September, down 6,000 y/y. Deaths increased by 3,000 to 305,000.The resulting natural population decrease widened to 129,000 from 121,000 a year earlier. The birth rate declined to 6.3 per 1,000 inhabitants from 6.5, while the death rate increased to 10.9 from 10.8.Monthly births have stabilised somewhat since June, reaching 21,000 in September, although this remained below the 22,500 recorded a year earlier.Net international migration for permanent residence remained positive, but insufficient to offset the natural population decline, according to an earlier GUS estimate.In an experimental simulation published in 2025, GUS estimated that Poland’s population could shrink to 28.4mn by 2060 if fertility remained at the 2024 level of 1.1 children per woman, well below the replacement level of 2.1.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/poland-s-population-shrinks-by-165-000-478772/

🇹🇷🇦🇿 Erdogan bows to Azerbaijani pressure, sacks aide who started diplomatic spatAzerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev is 2-for-2 in faceoffs against fellow regional leaders after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan jettisoned an aide, opening the way for Baku and Ankara to move on from a bout of acrimony.The Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet reported on October 25 that Erdogan advisor Oktay Saral had been forced to resign. Saral’s criticism of the introduction of new regulations in Azerbaijan that effectively banned religious attire, including hijabs, in state schools sparked a diplomatic row between Baku and Ankara. His departure presumably clears the way for a rapid reconciliation process to begin.“Our president appointed me to this position, and I resigned at his instruction,” Cumhuriyet quoted Saral as saying. “I bear no ill will towards anyone.”Saral confirmed in a social media post that his initial comments about the hijab controversy were responsible for his forced departure.In demanding Saral’s resignation, Erdogan appeared to bow to pressure from Baku to take action to rein in Turkish critics of Azerbaijani policies. Commentaries appearing in Azerbaijan’s tightly state-controlled press had indicated a conciliatory gesture by Erdogan was needed to get bilateral relations back on track.Earlier in 2026, Aliyev outlasted Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a battle of wills stemming from the accidental shootdown of an Azerbaijani civilian airliner in late 2024. Aliyev exerted pressure on Putin for months until the Kremlin leader finally acknowledged responsibility for the tragedy last fall. Aliyev also forced Putin’s client, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, to offer a ritualised apology earlier in October for the incident.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/erdogan-bows-to-azerbaijani-pressure-sacks-aide-who-started-diplomatic-spat-478985/

🇷🇸⚡- Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat in Serbia's parliamentary elections. The Student List has won the elections.🇷🇸🇷🇺 Serbia's student movement has won a historic election victory over Aleksandar Vučić's ruling party, but early indications suggest the new government is unlikely to sever ties with Russia or fundamentally change the country's foreign policy.The Student List won 52.71% of the vote and 140 seats in parliament in the October 25 snap election, according to preliminary results from the Republic Election Commission. The SNS led by Vučić won 39.17% and 104 seats, ending 14 years of dominance by his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).The result marks a major political turning point for Serbia, an EU candidate since 2012. But the movement's victory was driven primarily by anger over corruption and demands for institutional reform, rather than a desire to change the country's international alliances.The students brought together a politically diverse coalition, including right-wing nationalists and more liberal-minded figures, united by opposition to Vučić’s government. Their differences could complicate efforts to form a stable government and agree on a common foreign policy.During the campaign, the movement's leading candidate, Ilija Srdanović, sought to keep the focus on domestic problems, arguing that Serbia's institutions needed to be reformed before difficult questions about the country's international position could be resolved.In an interview with the BBC in September, he said Serbia's foreign policy should be guided by the interests of its citizens, while stressing the importance of the country's strategic interests, energy dependence and cooperation with Russia.He told Insajder TV that EU membership was not the movement's immediate priority, arguing that questions about accession should be considered once media freedom and public debate had been restored. He said citizens should ultimately decide on membership in a referendum.The statements suggest the student-led government is likely to prioritise domestic reforms rather than make sweeping foreign-policy changes. Reforms to the judiciary and media could bring Serbia closer to EU standards, but that does not necessarily mean its leaders will accelerate accession or abandon their existing international relationships.The Student List's pragmatic position could disappoint EU leaders, who have repeatedly called on Serbia to align its foreign policy more closely with the bloc's.The movement has already signalled that it does not intend to abandon Serbia's longstanding ties with Moscow.In a statement published during the campaign, it said Serbia would maintain its "principled stance against imposing restrictive measures on the Russian Federation".Serbia has refused to join Western sanctions against Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, while also condemning violations of Ukraine's territorial integrity at the United Nations.One reason is its dependence on Russian energy. Russia supplies about 80% of Serbia's natural gas imports, while the two countries maintain longstanding political and economic ties.Belgrade also opposes sanctions on principle, citing its historical relationship with Moscow and its own experience of Western sanctions in the 1990s, which severely damaged the economy and made life difficult for ordinary people.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/will-serbia-s-election-change-its-foreign-policy-479268/

🇵🇰🇮🇶🇺🇸🇮🇷 Pakistan and Iraq closed some border checkpoints with Iran fearing U.S. sanctions While the land borders of Iraq and Pakistan with Iran still remain open, authorities in Baghdad and Islamabad decided to close down key border checkpoints with Iran…🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 US blockade squeezes Iran's economy but may not force a dealA US naval blockade has cut Iran's oil exports to a trickle and pushed inflation near 90%, but may not force Tehran to concede, Capital Economics argued on October 27.Tracking estimates put Iran's seaborne crude exports at around 50,000 barrels a day (b/d) in both August and September, against 1.5mn-2.0mn b/d before the war, wrote Jason Tuvey, deputy chief emerging markets economist at the London-based consultancy. No crude has been loaded at Kharg Island, Iran's main export terminal, since late August, and Iraq and Pakistan have closed some border crossings with Iran, curbing its overland oil sales.Oil exports were earning Iran $2bn-3bn a month before the war, Tuvey estimates, so a fall of more than 95% in seaborne volumes strips Tehran of most of its hard-currency income after more than 100 days of blockade. The central bank has already cut the dollars it supplies for imports to $27bn in the first seven months of the Iranian year, against more than $40bn in the same period two years earlier.Iran's stock of oil already outside the blockade is shrinking as well. Iranian crude at sea is now estimated at 50mn barrels, down from 140mn-150mn barrels before the war, and tighter US sanctions have made those cargoes harder to sell.The IMF estimated Iran's usable foreign exchange reserves at just $22.6bn in 2024, and they were probably lower by the time the fighting began, according to the note. That would replace lost oil revenue for less than a year. The other way to adjust is for imports, and with them domestic demand, to fall, and Chinese trade data show exports to Iran were 30% lower y/y in September.The rial has lost 50% of its value against the dollar on the parallel market since the start of the year, hitting a record low in October, and official figures put inflation at close to 90% y/y in September, the highest rate since at least 1958, Tuvey wrote. Anecdotal evidence of goods shortages is mounting, and the IMF expects the economy to shrink by 7.6% this year."Economic pressure won't necessarily force the Iranian regime to make concessions," he wrote, pointing to regimes that clung to power through economic collapse with a mix of patronage and repression, such as Cuba after the 1959 revolution and Venezuela from 2012.The squeeze is arriving just as Iran's hand in the conflict may be weakening. Tehran has stepped up attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's critical chokepoints, in recent weeks, but has so far struggled to make a significant dent in energy flows from the Gulf, according to Capital Economics.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/comment-us-blockade-squeezes-iran-s-economy-but-may-not-force-a-deal-479266/

Even if Iran suffered more material damage than it inflicted on its enemies, it is the sole country that achieved its political objectives in the 40 Day War those being: kicking out the U.S. from its bases in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, forcing the U.S Navy out of the Persian Gulf, gaining control of the Hormuz Strait and being recognised by the other Middle Eastern countries as a significant if not the most powerful actor in the region.Having delegates from Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey and the KSA travel to Tehran to discuss such matters was unthinkable 10 months ago. The Qatari complaint about Iran's "lack of goodwill" is out of place in the present day as Qatar, a country that opened its airspace to U.S. aircraft from which to target Iran, is in no place to make such demands, a fact which they will have to learn the hard way.🔗 https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/qatar-says-iran-needs-show-good-intentions-mediation-efforts-succeed-2026-10-27/

🇨🇳🤖 China called for global cooperation in AI development for humanity's benefit, dismissing the AI-pocalypse narratives peddled by CEOs like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman In China and the rest of East Asia, AI development is viewed as a public utility meant…🇨🇳🤖 In China, the AI bubble has already burstWhile global tech stocks teeter, in China they have already crashed as lofty valuations collapse under worries about AI demand and curbs on Chinese exports.The meltdown, tanking the mainland STAR50 index of AI and semiconductor leaders by 40% in less than four months and vaporising some $480 billion in market value, is an ill omen for wobbly world markets and a dampener on China's efforts ‌at encouraging its savers into stocks to fund the AI boom.It has also slammed the brakes on a rally running two years, since economic stimulus promises sent shares soaring, and has stalled Beijing's push to break with a long boom-bust pattern and drive a "slow bull" market that delivers reliable performance. China's broad blue-chip index has dropped about 20% from highs made in June."The stock market later evolved into a speculative crazy bull," said Beijing-based fund manager Dong Baozhen. "And now we see the bubble bursting."The reversal reflects a rally that ran to higher heights than markets in the West or elsewhere in Asia, and compares with a mere prick to US AI stocks, which have led a 6% drawdown in the Nasdaq from a record high scaled three weeks ago.There has been no obvious selling trigger in China, although ⁠traders said high prices, tax bills and the threat of the US or other nations banning Chinese equipment in data centres all contributed.With AI stocks running to 42% of China's market capitalisation and 57% of turnover across mainland-listed A-shares and Hong Kong's H-shares, according to Goldman Sachs, few in a market dominated by small investors have escaped pain.Shares in robot-maker Unitree, 8,000 times oversubscribed by retail buyers at listing, have halved since they started trading in August, and chipmaker CXMT has lost more than a quarter of its value in the past month.Chipmakers MetaX Integrated Circuits and Moore Threads Technology, which leapt 700% and 400% respectively on their market debuts last year, have also halved in value since July.Chen Wensheng, a small business owner and investor from China's southern Hainan, said he bought into the rally emboldened by what he felt was official support for the likes of Unitree, which counted state-backed funds as investors. But Chen and his friends are now nursing losses.Frustration that an investment theme backed by Beijing has ended so badly has driven many investors into defensive assets and is likely to slow equity fundraising by tech firms.Shares in optical parts makers Zhongji Innolight and Eoptolink Technology are down roughly 60% from highs in June and July, in part as Washington moves towards banning the one-time ‌darlings from supplying ⁠US data centres.🔗 https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-ai-bubble-has-already-burst-2026-10-26/

🇦🇪🤝🇾🇪 The UAE Is Secretly Helping Ansarallah Fight ...

🇦🇪🤝🇾🇪 The UAE Is Secretly Helping Ansarallah Fight Saudi Arabia in YemenThe United Arab Emirates, a key American and Israeli ally in the Gulf, has been quietly assisting Ansarallah in its conflict against Saudi-backed forces inside Yemen, four sources with knowledge of the situation told Drop Site News.Specifically, various UAE-aligned Yemeni forces have been providing targeting assistance to Ansarallah in their battle against Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen while Abu Dhabi has looked the other way, the sources said.According to two sources with knowledge of the covert arrangement, the UAE’s assistance has also included direct sharing of intelligence by the UAE itself to Ansarallah for the purpose of targeting Saudi-backed forces.A Yemeni source familiar with the Ansarallah backchannel confirmed that “the UAE has passed a significant amount of intelligence to the Sana’a-based government; the line of communication between the two sides remains open.” The Yemeni source told Drop Site that Ansarallah “established their own channels of communication internally with military commanders” who remain loyal to the UAE. The sources required anonymity as they are not authorized to speak publicly about the arrangement.That the UAE is directly aiding one of its chief regional opponents is extraordinary. The UAE and Ansarallah are fierce ideological enemies with geopolitical goals that are in direct opposition to one another. The UAE is a close ally of Israel and the United States while Ansarallah is a close ally of Iran. However, when it comes to Yemen, their interests have come to overlap to some extent, producing a classic enemy-of-my enemy situation. The UAE was sidelined in Yemen earlier this year by Saudi Arabia, and stands to regain a strategic foothold in Yemen in the current conflict.The assistance to Ansarallah from the UAE, some of the sources said, does not include help with intelligence and targeting inside Saudi Arabia, but is limited to help with targeting and intelligence inside Yemen. Ansarallah’s attacks on Saudi Arabia included strikes on Saudi’s main airport, one of which killed 12 people and wounded more than 300 others—and led to the cancellation of the Future Investment Initiative conference, otherwise known as the “Davos in the Desert.”Recently, according to one source, a senior American official warned the Emirates that the U.S. had learned of the covert assistance being provided and urged that it be ended. Sources indicated the intelligence assistance was ongoing. Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Ansarallah official, denied that the UAE was assisting Ansarallah but insisted the Emirates were committed to neutrality. “The UAE has not provided any form of support to Yemen—neither against Saudi Arabia nor against its proxies within Yemen,” he told Drop Site. “According to our information, the UAE remains committed to neutrality and has refused to become re-involved in the aggression against Yemen alongside Saudi Arabia, despite persistent efforts by [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed] bin Salman to persuade it to join.”Beginning in 2015, the Emirates were allied with Saudi Arabia as part of a coalition backing the Yemeni government, after Ansarallah swept south from its stronghold in the northern highlands and took over Sana’a in 2014. The Yemeni government is commonly referred to as the internationally recognized government, or IRG, and it remains largely based in Riyadh. But, early in the conflict, the UAE’s aims and ambitions were at odds with the Saudis, causing division in the anti-Ansarallah side. In December of last year, that friction resulted in clashes between UAE-backed forces and Saudi-backed military units in the south and the UAE was effectively expelled from Yemen by force.Earlier this month, The Guardian reported that the UAE was re-entering the Yemeni conflict on the side of Saudi Arabia by agreeing to resume some payments to some of the forces it had backed.That backing would most likely come through supporting the Giants “Al Amaliqah” Brigades, a predominantly Salafi militia ideologically opposed to the Houthis with an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 largely southern fighters. The Southern Giants are currently battling for control of the Kahboub mountain range overlooking the Bab al-Mandab.🔗 https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/uae-yemen-ansarallah-houthis-saudi-arabia-covert

2026-10-27T18:19:32Z

📝 🇮🇱 🗳 Amit Segal on X: Turnout is up nine points. Half of that increase comes from Arab voters, who make up only 17 to 18 percent of the population.They are turning out at historic rates, at least since the dramatic Netanyahu–Peres election of 1996, and, from what we’re hearing, voting almost entirely for the Joint List and Ra’am.That means every point of that surge comes at the expense of all the Jewish parties, in both blocs: the change bloc and Netanyahu’s bloc alike.So the big question ahead of 10 p.m., for the parties, for Arab voters, for change-bloc voters and, in a sense, for Likud areas too, is this: was today’s turnout a massive early surge that is now leveling off, or will it keep pouring in at this pace until the polls close?My cautious estimate: this will certainly be the highest turnout of this century, and we’ve already passed that mark. It could end up somewhere around 74 to 75 percent. A fantastic, crazy number.But the real test is the next two hours.📎 Amit Segal

🇸🇦⚔️🇮🇷🇾🇪 Saudi journalist and correspondent for Arab News, Hamdan al-Shehri, says the visit of the Saudi defense minister, Turkish intelligence chief and Chief of the Pakistani Army to Tehran represents a "final collective warning" from the Mecca Alliance…🇮🇷🇸🇦🇹🇷🇵🇰 Iran wants a seat inside the Mecca pactAlliances usually form against an enemy that has attacked a country, or that's how they used to work. However, the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, signed on August 7 by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, took shape amid the fallout of a war in which Iran is the principal target. What makes the meetings even more bizarre is that Iran appears to be on the cusp of joining the grouping.President Masoud Pezeshkian said on October 17 that Iran is willing to join the alliance, drawing a mix of guffaws and confusion. On October 26, Saudi, Pakistani, and Turkish officials met Iran's security chief, according to Iranian officials, putting to rest the idea of a flurry of Persian confusion. No terms have been announced, and no agreement exists. The idea still deserves attention, because every party has reasons to want it and reasons to fear it.The text of the pact makes the arithmetic awkward, since it treats an attack on one member as an attack on all, which would bind Turkey, a NATO member, and nuclear-armed Pakistan to regard an American or Israeli strike on Tehran as an attack on themselves. Neither capital is likely to sign that, so the more plausible outcome is a lesser instrument, such as an associate status or a non-aggression undertaking, that gives Tehran a place at the table without a guarantee.Saudi Arabia and Iran restored diplomatic relations in 2023 in a deal brokered by China, an arrangement that the war has tested ever since, and the Saudi-Pakistan accord of September 2025 had widened into the Mecca pact within a year, as IntelliNews reported. A third widening, to include the war's target that shaped the first two, would be the quickest turn in the region's recent diplomacy.Riyadh has the clearest reason to talk, with its crude exports running about 74% below the pre-war baseline in August, a commodities newsletter, and the Strait of Hormuz open to fewer than 10 vessels a day. The 746-mile East-West pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea was meant to be the answer, until the Houthis entered the war in mid-July and claimed a strike on an Aramco facility there on September 16.Air defence has not stopped the Houthis, a Yemeni movement aligned with Iran, but a Saudi-Iranian understanding that covered the Red Sea might, and it would be worth more to Riyadh than another battery of interceptors.Tehran has an equally clear interest, having been at war with the US and Israel since February with few friends who control oil terminals, and a seat beside Riyadh, Ankara and Islamabad would make it harder for Washington to treat the kingdom as a platform at a cost to Iran of nothing more than an offer.Pakistan and Turkey carry the greatest risk because both border Iran and both would pay first if talks collapsed into a quarrel inside the pact. Any new member would presumably need the consent of all three founders, giving each a veto and Ankara and Islamabad a reason to prefer the slow track.The three governments that drew up the pact hold different views of Iran, with Turkey buying its gas and Saudi Arabia coming under fire from its allies in Yemen. A unanimous decision is possible, but the text would have to be very short.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/tehran-blog-iran-wants-a-seat-inside-the-mecca-pact-478852/?source=blogs

He had been under US sanctions since 2021. Potassium fertiliser is Belarus' main export, and Belaruskali its main producer.The delisting is the latest step in a slow-moving trade of sanctions relief for political prisoners. It comes a month after President Donald Trump's special envoy John Coale visited Minsk and secured the release of 25 political prisoners in exchange for lifting sanctions on two Belarusian companies, a smaller result than expected. Talks have so far freed about 500 prisoners in return for relief on the national airline, the banking sector and potash, but the pace has slowed this year as Minsk's demands have widened to include Europe."Given the decisions the US has already taken regarding Belarus, such as removing certain sanctions, the United States can influence European Union states to improve our relations with European states," Valentin Rybakov, Belarus' permanent representative to the UN and one of Minsk's lead negotiators with Washington, told state media after reporting to Alexander Lukashenko on the talks.The first shipment of Belarusian potash has already arrived at the port of New Orleans and the next is under way, the UN envoy said. "In the near future, obviously, the next shipment will be directed to the US market."The US issued a general licence in December 2025 authorising virtually all previously prohibited dealings with Belaruskali, and delisted the three entities that produce potash in March. EU and national sanctions in Europe still close the shortest and cheapest export route, through the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda. After visiting Minsk, Coale travelled to Vilnius and Riga to discuss potash transit, he told the New York Times, but Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budris has insisted that no EU member can be party to such a deal while EU sanctions stay in place.🔗 https://www.intellinews.com/us-lifts-sanctions-on-belarus-potash-chief-as-minsk-seeks-help-with-eu-478832/?source=eu-today

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 US forces in the Middle East are prepared ...

2026-10-26T13:54:30Z

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 US forces in the Middle East are prepared to launch new, potentially major, military operations against Iran “within 96 hours of receiving” an order from President Donald Trump, according to two US officials.Sufficient forces are now deployed in the region to carry out the potential attacks, the sources said. The scope of new US military operations would likely go beyond efforts to simply “mow the lawn” or maintain the status quo by striking radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that can be quickly reconstituted — as has been the case since Trump halted full combat operations earlier this year, the sources added.“It will be a big effort,” one of the officials told CNN. That view has been echoed by other current and former US officials familiar with internal military planning discussions — some of whom say it is a question of when, not if, Trump will issue a go-order. They believe it could come any time before the end of the year, though most likely after the US midterm elections. Iranian forces are now more familiar with US tactics, and it would therefore be harder for the American military to effectively destroy all potential intended targets. However, leaders in US Central Command and the Pentagon have been developing a wide-ranging target list, which includes Iranian energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities.Officials say that Trump has not made up his mind on what he will do after the midterms but that he appears to be leaning toward ordering major action. But officials also caution that Trump has appeared in the past to lean toward certain actions only to back off at the last moment. US intelligence officials believe Iran and the Houthis are unlikely to carry out preemptive escalatory attacks against American personnel or Israel at this point but would not hesitate to respond if Iran is targeted first by US or Israeli forces, one of the sources familiar with the latest American intelligence assessments noted.Additionally, nonessential US military personnel who were expected to deploy to the Middle East as part of the next troop rotation have been told they are no longer being sent, according to a US official, underscoring the possibility of looming regional escalation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been pushing to carry out new attacks against Iran, but US officials have requested he delay until the Trump administration is ready to conduct joint operations, according to two US officials and an Israeli security source.“Netanyahu really wanted and tried to convince Trump for a joint attack in Iran before the elections, and Trump did not give a green light,” the Israeli security source told CNN. The prime minister’s office said this was “fake news.” One reason Trump declined is because Israel Defense Forces chief of staff Eyal Zamir told US Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, that it would harm the elections in Israel and lead to their postponement, the Israeli security source added.Israel’s Channel 12 News reported Sunday there was an “unprecedented” confrontation between Zamir and Netanyahu fewer than 48 hours before Tuesday’s vote. According to the report, Zamir received a directive from the political echelon related to Iran but requested an in-depth discussion and legal authorizations before carrying it out, fearing the action could lead to a miscalculation that could trigger an immediate conflict.🔗 https://edition.cnn.com/2026/10/26/politics/us-iran-strike-plans-trump
