Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a “crisis of trust” over handling military operations. Foreign Minister Israel Katz will replace Gallant, while Gideon Saar takes over as Foreign Minister. Netanyahu stated that trust between him and Gallant had eroded over recent months, particularly in decisions surrounding Israel’s 13-month war in Gaza. Gallant had expressed concerns over the war’s direction, which clashed with Netanyahu's view to continue until Hamas is dismantled. Gallant, responding to his dismissal, posted that Israel’s security “will always remain the mission of my life.”

Harris, backed by celebrities like Bad Bunny and Fat Joe, spent the day visiting Latino communities in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state. Trump, however, distanced himself from the remark but praised his support for Puerto Rico. Pennsylvania’s Latino vote may play a crucial role in deciding the election.

As the US presidential election unfolds on November 5, results may not be clear for hours or even days due to the close contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Swing states, particularly Pennsylvania, are crucial in determining the outcome. Although media outlets will begin projecting results soon, official certification will occur by December 11, with Congress counting electoral votes on January 6, 2025.
