❗️Israeli military on maximum alert ahead of US midterms amid fears of renewed war on Iran
Israeli occupation forces remained on the highest state of military alert today ahead of Tuesday's US midterm elections, according to Israeli publication Walla.
Intelligence agencies and military officials in Tel Aviv warned of potential regional escalations, citing fears that Tehran could launch offensive operations targeting US installations or Israeli targets in the region to influence the outcome of the US congressional vote.
Military coordination between the Israeli military command, the US War Department, and CENTCOM has reached unprecedented operational levels, with Israeli defense officials confirming they expect advance notice should Washington initiate 'preemptive' strikes against Iran.
However, internal Israeli military assessments suggest a low probability of an immediate US pre-election attack, noting that US President Donald Trump prefers to exhaust Qatari-mediated negotiations in Doha before committing to major combat operations.
The heightened alert coincides with severe domestic political paralysis following Israel's recent parliamentary elections, where Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition secured 53 seats—short of the 61 needed to form a government.
Writing for Haaretz, military analyst Amos Harel warned that Netanyahu may seek to engineer a military confrontation with Tehran to preserve his political standing and force White House intervention, leveraging the political pressure surrounding the US midterm elections to avoid coalition collapse and pending judicial scrutiny.

❗️UAE Energy Minister claims Emirates 'better prepared' for any upcoming military escalation
Speaking at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) and reported by international news outlets, Emirati Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail al-Mazrouei claimed that while the outcome of the US-Israeli war on Iran cannot be predicted, the United Arab Emirates will be significantly more prepared for any upcoming military escalation.
Addressing energy ministers and global trade executives today, Mazrouei emphasized that Abu Dhabi has reinforced its national energy contingencies to shield domestic production, infrastructure, and maritime logistics from severe external shocks.
The energy minister's remarks come amid heightened anxiety across regional energy hubs as global oil markets experience extreme volatility over fears of US military strikes against Iran.
While US President Donald Trump stated he would refrain from initiating broad combat operations prior to Tuesday's US midterm elections, his public warnings that Washington stands ready to launch additional military operations against Iran have kept crude prices elevated and maritime insurance premiums near historic highs across West Asia.

❗️Russia calls signs of imminent attacks on Iran ‘extremely alarming,’ says military force cannot break Iranians’ determination to defend sovereignty
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on Monday that signs of preparations for renewed military action against Iran are “extremely alarming,” urging those threatening further attacks to reconsider.
Speaking at a press briefing in Moscow, Zakharova said Iran continues to face the consequences of “unprovoked aggression” by the US and Israel, stressing that the unresolved war remains intertwined with wider regional crises.
She emphasized that recent months have demonstrated that military attacks bringing death and destruction to Iran cannot break the Iranian people's determination to defend their sovereignty and independence, calling instead for intensified diplomatic efforts to reach a peaceful resolution.

❗️Israeli military signs $190 million agreement with Elbit Systems for advanced artillery training facility
The Israeli war ministry's Defense Procurement Directorate (DPD) signed a 15-year contract valued at over $190 million with Israeli 'defense' firm Elbit Systems to construct a technology training facility for army commanders and artillery units, according to official statements published on the Israeli war ministry's social media channels.
The project is designed to support the operational rollout of next-generation artillery platforms, specifically the SIGMA self-propelled howitzer and the PULS rocket launcher system.
The contract includes the delivery of simulation technology, mission simulators, driving units, and specialized instructional infrastructure to accelerate training timelines for artillery personnel.
Defense Procurement Directorate head Zeev Landau stated that the agreement reflects a long-term strategy to expand military strike capacity and ground readiness, while Elbit Systems executive Boaz Cohen confirmed the facility will provide logistics and maintenance support to preserve high operational readiness across artillery units.
The massive procurement agreement underscores Israel's long-term military buildup and reliance on domestic arms manufacturers to expand its heavy artillery capabilities. The technological overhaul comes as Israeli occupation forces face prolonged attrition across multiple regional fronts, relying heavily on automated long-range artillery and rocket systems to sustain continuous bombardments.

❗️Jordan labels Israeli expansionism 'greatest threat' to region despite Amman's security alliance with Tel Aviv
Addressing parliament in Amman during the opening of its ordinary session, King Abdullah II declared that Tel Aviv’s expansionist policy remains the primary hazard facing West Asia.
The Jordanian monarch stressed that permanent security and stability across the region remain impossible without securing full self-determination and territorial rights for the Palestinian people, warning that attempting to enforce legitimacy through military tyranny will not erase historic realities.
The speech addressed the catastrophic conditions across the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, where daily Israeli military raids, land confiscations, and state-backed settler violence continue to expand unchecked.
Reaffirming Amman’s nominal defense of Arab rights and holy sites in Jerusalem, Abdullah criticized global inaction against Israeli war crimes while insisting that establishing a unified Arab diplomatic posture remains an urgent priority for his administration.
Despite the monarch's sharp public rhetoric against Israeli policy, the Hashemite kingdom maintains deep economic, diplomatic, and security cooperation with Tel Aviv under the 1994 Wadi Araba treaty.
Amman continues to rely heavily on Israeli water and gas sales while serving as a operational buffer zone for the western alliance, including actively deploying defense assets to intercept Iranian missiles and drones bound for Israeli targets.

❗️Lieberman backs Eisenkot for Israeli prime minister, Lapid for Knesset speaker amid coalition deadlock
Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman announced on Monday that his party will recommend Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot for Israeli prime minister and support Yair Lapid for Knesset speaker, following last week's elections.
Lieberman said his priority was forming a government as quickly as possible to avoid another election, warning that a minority government would collapse within a year and allow Benjamin Netanyahu to return to power.
Lieberman also announced plans to begin collecting signatures next Tuesday to replace current Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana of Netanyahu's Likud party, accusing him of violating parliamentary rules.
Opposition leaders are reportedly seeking to remove Ohana after the new Knesset is sworn in on 10 November, potentially giving them greater control over legislation, parliamentary votes, and committee appointments.
The election results left Netanyahu's bloc with 53 seats and the opposition bloc with 48, neither securing the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority.
However, the Palestinian parties, which won 19 seats, have expressed willingness to cooperate with the opposition to replace Netanyahu.
Their support could bring Eisenkot's potential recommendations to 67, allowing President Isaac Herzog to grant him the mandate to form a government.
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett also announced his support for Eisenkot on Sunday, although no formal agreement has been reached among opposition parties. Presidential consultations are expected to begin Wednesday, with coalition negotiations potentially leading to a new government, a minority administration, a unity government, or another election, according to The Jerusalem Post.

❗️An injured Palestinian child in occupied Hebron was forced to wait over an hour and a half for emergency medical treatment due to Israeli military access restrictions, according to Palestinian human rights activist Issa Amro.
The child sustained a severe leg fracture after falling while walking home from school, but Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) first responders were prevented from reaching the child because Israeli occupation forces require pre-approved military clearance and coordination before medical vehicles can enter designated Palestinian neighborhoods under siege or military control.

❗️Israel commits nearly 6,000 violations of Gaza 'ceasefire,' killing 1,593 Palestinians
Israel has committed 5,989 violations of the US-backed ceasefire in Gaza since it took effect on 11 October 2025, including 753 violations in October 2026 alone, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.
The violations have included repeated shootings, airstrikes, home demolitions, military incursions, and arrests. During October, Israeli forces carried out 346 shooting incidents, 310 bombardments, 64 home demolitions, 21 military incursions, and 12 arrests, killing 145 Palestinians and injuring 672 others.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, 1,593 Palestinians have been killed and 5,748 injured since the so-called ceasefire began, while 847 bodies have been recovered. Over the past 48 hours alone, Gaza’s hospitals received 15 bodies, including 11 people newly killed, two who succumbed to their injuries, and two recovered from beneath the rubble, alongside 38 wounded Palestinians.
Gaza’s Government Media Office also reported severe Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid and movement, with only 77,657 of the 232,800 agreed-upon trucks entering Gaza since the ceasefire began, representing just 33.3 percent of the required total. In October, only 3,777 of 18,600 agreed-upon trucks entered, including just 247 fuel trucks, while movement through the Rafah crossing reached only 19.1 percent of agreed levels.
The office condemned Israel’s continued attacks and restrictions, held Israel and its supporters, particularly the US administration, responsible, and called on international mediators to intervene, end the violations, and ensure the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid and fuel.

❗️'War is coming': European and Arab officials warn US buildup around Gulf bases invites devastating Iranian response
According to reporting by Reuters and statements delivered at the annual Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain, western and Arab diplomats warn that Washington's massive troop and asset concentration across bases in West Asia has brought the region to the brink of open war.
European officials confirmed that US forces have assembled enough military hardware to strike Iran at short notice—potentially immediately following Tuesday's US midterm elections—prompting one senior European official in close contact with Gulf leaders to warn flatly that "war is coming" and that "nobody is in favour of this war."
The prospect of renewed US aggression has confronted regional governments with a grim reality: the extensive network of US military bases established under the guise of security has instead transformed host nations into prime targets for Iranian retaliatory strikes.
Earlier waves of combat demonstrated that Tehran's precision missile capabilities can easily bypass western air defense systems to strike critical US garrisons and adjacent energy infrastructure, exposing the structural vulnerability of Washington's militarized footprint across the Gulf.
Discussions among security policymakers in Manama highlighted growing frustration among regional states forced to bear the catastrophic economic and operational costs of an unwanted confrontation.
Despite diplomatic shuttling by Qatari and Turkish mediators seeking to bridge terms over the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Gulf leaders fear that any subsequent US attack will trigger an uncontainable Iranian response, destroying energy facilities and permanently unraveling the US-led security framework in West Asia.
