News18 - Oct 29, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party has demanded an investigation into alleged election fraud, escalating the political battle after Israel’s closely contested October 27 election.Likud has accused Arab parties of irregularities, including alleged vote-buying, threats, forgery and the use of prohibited voter-mobilisation software. The party says it has submitted complaints and evidence to authorities, while Israel’s Central Elections Committee is reviewing the allegations.The claims come as Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc falls short of the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority, leaving coalition negotiations uncertain. The allegations remain unverified, and the election dispute has intensified tensions over the role of Arab parties in Israel’s political future.What do Netanyahu’s claims mean for Israel’s democracy, election integrity and the battle to form the next government? n18oc_indian18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube

Arunachal Hydro War: Foreign Inflows Under Scanner Amid Violent Protests Against Siang Project

Protests against the proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) in Arunachal Pradesh have escalated sharply, exposing a complex clash between indigenous community anxieties and India’s critical national security agenda. The agitation, led by coalitions including the Siang Indigenous Farmers Forum, Adi Bane Kebang United, the SUMP Affected Area Youth Association, and the Adi Galo Welfare Society alongside their respective youth wings, centres on severe local displacement concerns. Demonstrators fear the massive NHPC project will submerge roughly 27 villages, displace between 1 and 1.5 lakh residents, and permanently destroy ancestral lands, traditional livelihoods, and sacred cultural sites along the downstream Siang and Yarlung Tsangpo basin.However, recent developments have shifted official focus from grassroots dissent to national security and foreign funding investigations. Following violent outbursts in Pasighat during October 2026—which involved arson targeting an NHPC office and local police stations, as well as attacks on community leaders’ residences—central intelligence agencies assessed that the violence was not entirely organic. Intelligence reports indicate that local youth and Gen Z elements were mobilised following bandhs, pointing towards orchestrated agitation rather than spontaneous civilian outrage. n18oc_india CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
