> Israel is moving into coalition talks after Netanyahu’s bloc came first but fell short of the 61 seats needed for a majority. Arab parties could prove decisive, while Gadi Eisenkot remains central to post-election discussions. Diplomacy involving Iran is also gaining momentum: Tehran says it is still giving negotiations a chance, with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Qatar involved in regional talks. Trump says JD Vance offered medical supplies to Iran and denies directing him to do so.
