Read the latest news on Israel and Jewish communities. Each article dates the events and identifies its sources. The examples from November 2026 below show how the date of an announcement can differ from the day a decision is taken or comes into force.
Israel in Facts is a Zionist, right-leaning publication. We support Israel’s right to exist and to make decisions about its own security. When the Israeli military, a ministry or an aid organisation gives a figure, readers should be able to see who produced it and what it measures.
What happens after an election?
Vote totals, party consultations and the formation of a government mark different stages in an election. Israel voted on 27 October 2026. On 8 November, President Isaac Herzog gave Gadi Eisenkot the mandate to form a government. Our election report sets out which decisions had been made at the time of publication and which questions about a coalition remained open. Read the election results and the mandate
How to read an aid figure
A count of trucks scheduled for delivery measures something different from a count of trucks unloaded. When reading a report about humanitarian aid to Gaza, check where the count was made, the dates it covers and which agency released it. Our November report links back to OCHA’s figures for scheduled deliveries and trucks actually unloaded. It also identifies Gaza’s health ministry as the source of the casualty figures cited by the UN agency. Rain, shelter and aid in Gaza
The same care is needed with a political announcement. A president can describe an intended change in aid while an existing agreement still covers later financial years. The annual vote on funding has its own timetable. Read about US military aid to Israel
