Outlets reported a Trump-Netanyahu call on preparations for renewed strikes on Iran, with Trump saying one or two remaining nuclear sites including Pickaxe Mountain could be handled in ten minutes. Tehran warned a war would be longer and ruled out nuclear talks, while Israeli reports said Netanyahu was urging immediate action aimed at toppling the regime.
Attention then turned to the post-election deadlock before President Herzog’s Wednesday consultations. Herzog urged leaders to accept the results, as Eisenkot explored a minority government based on abstention by Ra’am and United Torah Judaism, which left open backing him pending rabbinical approval. Bennett pledged to recommend Eisenkot, the Joint List signaled support, and Lieberman demanded first rotation.
The foreign-funding probe peaked when election chief Sohlberg, flanked by Shin Bet chief Zini, declared the vote conducted and unchangeable even if suspicions were verified, prompting Likud accusations of a black cloud over the results.

Overnight tallies replaced live blogs from the 'Gen Z regelt' day. Editors contrasted calm, smaller-than-announced daytime marches with nighttime looting on Frankfurt's Zeil, barricades and SEK deployment, and Molotov attacks on police in Cologne, with Hamburg, Stuttgart and Berlin listed as further flashpoints. By midday the story turned to blame and bilan. Police reported arrests, injured officers in Frankfurt including teeth knocked out by a stone, and a cordoned-off city centre still under heavy deployment. Interior Minister Dobrindt attributed the violence to leftist groups and 'chaoten aus migrantischem Milieu,' prompting calls for 'volle Härte' and counter-warnings not to dismiss peaceful protesters' concerns. Commentators described rioters hijacking the youth protest.

Overnight Russia hit energy in four regions, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Kyiv logged six alerts by morning, and a strike on a dormitory in Vinnytsia killed two, including a girl, and wounded three children.
Zelensky said Ukraine asked allies to lend Patriot interceptors pending deliveries under the $2.1bn deal for 500 missiles, and claimed strikes destroyed $70m in Russian air defenses and hit missile-fuel production, including the Lukoil plant at Kstovo. He also claimed record Russian losses in October.
After talks with Erdogan, Kyiv said Zelensky was ready to meet Putin in Turkey, while Moscow said Putin would answer a call. Washington defended inviting Russia to the G20 and doubted NATO membership or a deal before 2027. Officials said the Oleshky silence ended after 167 more were evacuated, and a hacked alert app sent false radiation warnings.

Identification reached 56 of 69 dead in Urda, all Spaniards, as investigation narrowed on Adif's Atocha control centre for leading to the collision.
