The Telegraph: The Left is more unpopular than any time since the Cold War – except in Britain
Left-wing parties are experiencing unprecedented unpopularity, with a record low average vote share of 45.4% in recent elections across 73 democracies. In Western Europe and the US, they garnered only 42.3% compared to the Right's 55.7%, marking the largest gap since 1990.
This trend follows a year of significant conservative electoral victories, highlighted by Donald Trump's election as US president and a record turnout of over 1.5 billion voters in 2024.

Times Of Israel: On a deadline: How Biden and Trump brokered hostage deal before ‘all hell’ broke loose
The recent hostage release and ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas resulted from complex negotiations involving multiple factors, including military successes and diplomatic pressures. While President-elect Donald Trump claimed sole credit for the deal, outgoing President Joe Biden emphasized the importance of Israel's battlefield achievements and the need for a postwar plan for Gaza.
Despite the Biden administration's efforts to mediate, Netanyahu's added conditions hampered negotiations, and tensions remained high. Ultimately, a combination of military actions against Hezbollah and the urgency of the upcoming administration transition contributed to the breakthrough in talks, though the role of Trump's threats was downplayed by US officials.
