Netanyahu Ex-Advisor Hanegbi Switches Allegiance to Lieberman's Party

Netanyahu Ex-Advisor Hanegbi Switches Allegiance to Lieberman's Party

Former National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi announced he will vote for Avigdor Lieberman's Israel Beytenou party instead of Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud in the October 27 elections. Hanegbi cited disillusionment with the "messianic" and "racist" right, opposition to ultra-Orthodox military exemptions, and Lieberman's prior warnings about Hamas. He was dismissed by Netanyahu in October 2025. The move has been criticized by Likud supporters as driven by resentment.

Israel's Interest Rate Decision Looms Ahead of Elections Amid Economic Uncertainty

Israel's Monetary Committee will decide on the interest rate this Wednesday, just before national elections. While a recent inflation report allows for a potential rate cut, global factors like oil prices and U.S. inflation, along with domestic budget concerns, suggest the rate will likely remain at 3.25%. A rate cut could lower mortgage payments but reduce returns on savings.
