2:43Neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot is on track for a majority; Eylon Levi examines possible governing coalitions.
6:55Keith Brannum assesses Democratic polling advantages and competitive congressional districts ahead of the US midterms.
10:07Finnish and Norwegian leaders have called Putin as Europe seeks involvement in peace negotiations.
12:58Marko Prelec distinguishes Serbia's student movement from a political party while examining the parliamentary election.
16:11Euronews reports Chinese sponsorship losses following Mbappé's Mao comments; Ken Early examines the business implications.

"And Israelis are waking up this morning scratching their heads and asking what happened," former Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levi tells host Stefan Grobe.

The problem at the centre of this Europe Today broadcast is not simply who finished ahead. Euronews reports that neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gadi Eisenkot is on track for a governing majority, leaving the composition of a possible coalition unresolved.

The programme shows Netanyahu warning against a government dependent on anti-Zionist Arab parties, while Eisenkot tells him not to use Israel's security for political purposes. Grobe then questions Levi about the results and the possible routes to forming a government.

The broadcast has drawn about 45,000 views in 20 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos.

Its other main diplomatic story concerns direct calls to Vladimir Putin by Finland's and Norway's leaders. Correspondent Sasha Vakulina examines the contacts as Europe seeks a role in peace negotiations. Finnish President Alexander Stubb describes his conversation as "professional and direct"; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stresses the importance of European involvement in diplomatic efforts.

Later, Western Balkans analyst Marko Prelec offers a useful distinction in the programme's coverage of Serbia's parliamentary election: the student movement that helped shape the political debate is not itself a political party.
