Senate Republicans vote to keep Thune as leader after steep election losses | MARY CLARE JALONICK and STEVEN SLOAN - Updated Tue, November 10, 2026 at 2:27 PM GMT+3 - 5 min read

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans reelected South Dakota Sen. John Thune as leader of the GOP conference after a tense day of discussions about steep losses in the midterm elections that cost them their majority.

Thune was always expected to prevail, as he is popular with his GOP colleagues and was running unopposed in the secret ballot election. But Senate Republicans vented their frustrations in three separate meetings on Tuesday after an election wipeout that cost them at least seven Senate seats.

Some Republicans had tried to delay the leadership decision, but the conference voted to proceed, said Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who had pushed to postpone. He walked out of the room as the voting began.

Israel's new parliament sworn in as leaders compete to form government | Raffi Berg - Tue, November 10, 2026 at 6:51 PM GMT+3 - 4 min read

Israel's new parliament has been sworn in, as opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot seeks to oust caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The former army chief has been tasked with forming a government after receiving more recommendations from members of the Knesset than Netanyahu, although not all those backing him are willing to govern together.

Eisenkot's bloc of four parties won 48 seats in October's election, while Netanyahu's bloc won 53, leaving both short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. He has 28 days to build a coalition, with a possible two-week extension.
