Gantz's Election Exit Could Impact Israeli Politics Significantly

Gantz's Election Exit Could Impact Israeli Politics Significantly

Benny Gantz has exited the Israeli election, a move that could prove significant despite his recent political challenges. Historical elections show that small vote differences can alter outcomes, such as Shimon Peres losing to Benjamin Netanyahu by 14,000 votes in 1996. The Hayamin Hehadash party missed Knesset entry by 1,450 votes in 2019, and Meretz was excluded by 4,000 votes in 2022. These close calls highlight how marginal vote counts can have major historical impacts.

Eric Schmidt's Anthropic Stake Could Be Worth $20 Billion

Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, holds a 1% stake in AI firm Anthropic, currently valued at $9.65 billion. Ahead of Anthropic's planned IPO next month, which targets a $1.8-$2 trillion valuation, Schmidt's stake could reach $20 billion. The company's valuation has surged since its 2021 founding, with significant funding rounds from major tech players. Anthropic reported substantial revenue growth in 2025 but also a significant net loss, partly due to accounting adjustments, and faces massive infrastructure commitments.

Emirates Halts Ticket Sales for Israelis Until Spring 2027

Emirates has suspended ticket sales for Israeli customers on its website, preventing travel with layovers in Dubai until its subsidiary FlyDubai is cleared to fly to Israel. FlyDubai's flights are not expected to begin before late November, and the restriction by Emirates could last until spring 2027. This change forces Israelis to seek alternative routes for travel to the Far East and Japan, as Dubai was a key transit point.
