Double Envelopes Hold Key to Final Election Results

Approximately 650,000 "double envelope" votes, potentially worth 15 Knesset seats, will delay the final Israeli election results until Thursday. These votes come from soldiers, displaced persons, and others voting outside their registered stations. While initial results will be released on election night, they will be incomplete. Past elections show these votes can shift seat allocations, particularly for parties near the electoral threshold. Final official results will be published by November 4.

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.
