Trump said the U.S. carried out “minor” strikes on an Iranian anti-aircraft asset, while CENTCOM offered up to $20 million for information on Iran’s nuclear program. Reports described a Qatari proposal trading Hormuz sanctions relief for renewed inspections, and U.S. plans to extend the naval blockade to land commerce.
Domestically, Netanyahu issued a recorded call for a national-unity government under his bloc, warning against an Eisenkot government dependent on Arab parties. Eisenkot dismissed it as hysterical spin and invited Likud to join under him only after breaking with far-right allies.
President Herzog then announced he would formally task Eisenkot with forming the government after securing 67 recommendations to Netanyahu’s 46. Heavy rain that flooded Sharon towns and closed southern roads provided the day’s other coverage.

Morning papers still read Washington's midterm defeat through Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as chief of staff, framed as confrontation and rule by fear, and treated Ilse Aigner's presidential nomination as settled.
By afternoon that agenda was displaced by breaking news from Poland: shots on a Krakow market square, first reported as five dead, then six with many critically injured. Prime Minister Tusk called it an attack, later terrorism, as the interior minister pointed to the 24-year-old suspect's fascination with far-right ideology.
By night the toll rose to nine after three more bodies were found in the gunman's apartment. Parallel evening attention turned to Israel, where Netanyahu rival Gadi Eisenkot was tasked with forming a government.

Morning live blogs framed Saturday as acte IV of the cost-of-living movement, with unions, lycéens and returning gilets jaunes expected at 170,000 nationally and 40,000-60,000 in Paris under 70,000 police. Coverage noted persistent lycée blockades, a new education strike call for Tuesday, and testimony from Maïssa, 18, blinded in one eye at Mulhouse on October 17. The Paris cortège left République for Nation around midday, with only a small gilets jaunes sit-in at Concorde despite bans. Beauvau quickly claimed a “net recul” and a calm, controlled day, with final counts split at 146,000 per Interior against 250,000 per youth intersyndicale, 46,000 in Paris, 232 arrests and late tensions at Nation.
Attention then shifted to Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s Bourget rally, where he refused to soften his line and pitched a Sixth Republic six months before the presidential vote, ahead of Monday’s Matignon social conference.

Washington pressed for a framework deal with Israel while Lebanese outlets described it as frozen until early next year, with Aoun reaching Hezbollah through Berri and the army pledging to prevent destabilization. The five-embassies endorsement of exclusive state arms fed a standoff with Hezbollah over Dahr al-Baidar, now reduced to explanations of France's non-signature.
That deadlock was read through renewed U.S.-Iran strikes, described as limited, as Qatari mediation continued in Doha and Tehran claimed stronger forces. Israeli shelling, demolitions and a sweeping operation in Beit Yahoun kept the south as a security zone without UNIFIL, prompting debate over monitoring Resolution 1701.
Washington declared Lebanon's Michigan consul persona non grata over pro-Hezbollah posts, with Beirut ordering his return, as Israel formally tasked Eisenkot with forming a government, shifting attention to whether succession changes the southern front.

Russia launched 36 ballistic missiles, including Iskanders, Zircons and North Korean KN-23s, at Kyiv and the region overnight, with air defenses intercepting only four amid a Patriot interceptor shortage. Multiple hits damaged the Northern Bridge, halting traffic, and struck substations connecting two nuclear plants to the capital, leaving 18 energy hits in 24 hours. A residential building and kindergarten in Solomianskyi were damaged, with five wounded including a child, and heating and water disruptions reported. Kyiv faced repeated air alerts through the day. Ukraine said it retaliated with Neptune strikes on a military plant in Orel and drones on the Saratov refinery.
Zelensky acknowledged the interception rate and pressed for faster deliveries, then addressed Operation Carthage for the first time, promising personnel decisions in the SBU and restoration of asset declarations. Outlets also cited FT on Democrats preparing a $15 billion aid package.

Sánchez resumed pre-campaigning in Tarragona after the Urda mourning, defending the government's handling as having 'dado la cara' and presenting Puente's resignation as exemplarity against PP and Vox. Citing defeats for Trumpism in US midterms, he demanded a broad progressive majority on 29-N and pledged to shield abortion, insisting Spain 'is not governed from Washington.'
Feijóo answered from the Urda fallout, promising a rail audit and warning that if train funds ended in the PSOE its leaders would leave power for prison. The charge was fuelled by reports that Adif shielded million-euro bonuses hours before its president resigned and that the European Prosecutor was probing nearly €200m in safety aid for the line. Poll aggregation still gave PP+Vox a majority.
Coverage shifted late to El Hierro's social emergency over new cayuco arrivals and to a shooting in Krakow's centre that left at least six dead.
