How Election Exit Polls Are Compiled and Their Potential Pitfalls

Israel is set to release election exit poll results at 10:00 PM, following a dramatic election day. Exit polls reconstruct votes by surveying a sample of polling stations, unlike opinion polls. For the first time, 'Kikar HaShabbat' will release a poll focused on Haredi voting. The process involves selecting key stations, collecting anonymous vote recounts, and weighting data, but polls are prone to sampling errors, response biases, and issues related to the electoral threshold.

Qatar Urges Iran to Reopen Strait of Hormuz, End Gulf Threats

Qatar urged Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end threats against Gulf Arab states, following a Qatari delegation's visit to Tehran. The move is part of a U.S.-coordinated de-escalation effort, with Qatar and Pakistan mediating between Iran, the U.S., and Israel. Intensified diplomatic efforts by Saudi, Turkish, and Pakistani officials also occurred amid renewed Houthi attacks and U.S.-Iran tensions. Qatar considers Hormuz reopening and ending threats crucial for mediation to continue.

Netherlands to Skip Eurovision 2027 Over Israel's Participation

The Netherlands will not participate in Eurovision 2027 in Bourgas, Bulgaria, due to Israel's continued inclusion in the competition. This is the second consecutive boycott by the Dutch, who also skipped the 2026 event over the issue. Despite previous optimism from the NPO, no Dutch broadcaster would fund the bid, citing concerns about the contest's neutrality amid the Gaza war. Several other European countries also boycotted the 2026 contest over Israel's participation.
