The Telegraph: German election live: Voters head to the polls with new CDU leader expected
Germans are voting today in an election that could see Friedrich Merz’s Conservatives take power, defeating Olaf Scholz. Economic issues, migration, and Ukraine's future have dominated the campaign, with Merz's party polling at 28-32% and Scholz at 14-16%.

Times Of Israel: Shin Bet chief urged killing Sinwar days before Oct. 7; Netanyahu objected – report
Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar reportedly requested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to approve the assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on October 1, 2023, but Netanyahu dismissed the proposal. Instead, Bar suggested providing civilian incentives to Hamas for peace, a claim denied by Netanyahu's office.
As tensions escalated, Bar met with Shin Bet officials early on October 7, hours before Hamas launched its attack. Despite initial concerns about a possible invasion, Shin Bet's assessment shifted, leading to delayed warnings to the IDF. The report highlights significant misjudgments by Shin Bet regarding Hamas's intentions and the overall security situation.
