 HEADLINESTrump endorses Cuomo in NYC mayor raceHungary urges constructive EU Israel tiesGaza relief short as hostage talks loomThe time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good morning. It is 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Here is the latest across the Middle East, global diplomacy, and the broader international context shaping policy and public opinion around Israel, Jewish communities, and allied nations.First, in New York City, voters are casting ballots in a mayoral race that has drawn national attention for the way it intersects with debates over Israel, antisemitism, and the place of Jewish communities in American life. Polls open at six this morning and run until nine p.m. local time, with the City Board of Elections noting a large early voting turnout in recent days. The contest pits Zohran Mamdani, a progressive who has criticized Israeli policy, against former Governor Andrew Cuomo and longtime Republican-leaning candidate Curtis Sliwa. A strong turnout is expected, and officials caution that final results could take hours or even days to determine if the race is close, with results released in batches as vote counting proceeds.National dynamics are playing out in unexpected ways. President Donald Trump has offered a forceful endorsement of Cuomo, including remarks that have drawn intense attention. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Mamdani as a “proven and self-professed Jew hater” and urged voters to back Cuomo. The comments add a domestic dimension to discussions already underway about how New York’s leadership could influence policy at a time of complex global challenges, including security and counterterrorism considerations that ripple far beyond the city. The Cuomo campaign branded the endorsement as a continuation of Cuomo’s record, while Mamdani argued that his own platform centers on affordable city services and a broader progressive agenda.In Washington and across the Atlantic, European diplomats and lawmakers continue to weigh Israel’s security needs against a broader debate over regional policy and rights. Hungary’s EU Affairs Minister János Bóka, visiting Israel, argued that European criticism of Israel risks undermining Europe’s influence in the Middle East and urged a constructive relationship with Jerusalem. He asserted that some European rhetoric borders on antisemitism in tone and stressed that Europe should support a two-state framework while recognizing the security concerns that Israel faces. Hungary remains a steadfast ally in a bloc where debates over sanctions, arms, and political pressure have intensified since the Gaza war and Israel’s security operations. In parallel, European leaders have floated various responses to ongoing regional tensions, including considerations about sanctions, arms embargoes, and cultural or sporting boycotts, even as ceasefire discussions and humanitarian relief efforts continue to evolve.Security and governance inside Israel also feature prominently in this period. A new comptroller’s report warns that Israel entered wartime without sufficient emergency fiscal preparedness, highlighting budget breaches and rising borrowing risk as the country faced the current security ceiling. A separate assessment charges the national cabinet with failing to manage civilian affairs effectively during wartime, leaving the home front under stress. The report places accountability with Prime Minister Netanyahu and key coalition partners, underscoring the political and administrative pressures that accompany military operations and civilian resilience alike.On the battlefield and in humanitarian corridors, developments continue to unfold around Gaza and hostage issues. Aid agencies report that, four weeks into a ceasefire arrangement, relief efforts remain short of needs as winter approaches and the enclave’s residents endure crowding and deprivation. In parallel, reports indicate that Hamas has moved to coordinate with international Red Cross representatives for some hostage handovers, with at least one transfer anticipated this evening. Across the region, the toll of conflict persists, even as diplomatic and humanitarian channels seek to ease suffering and avert further violence.In the realm of international diplomacy and security, there are ongoing debates about diplomacy’s future shape in the Middle East and Europe’s role in it. A notable figure in this discussion is Itai Ophir, appointed as the IDF’s chief legal adviser, a move described by Israel’s defense establishment as crucial for maintaining lawful and effective military governance amid current and emerging challenges. The appointment comes amid broader conversations about the balance between robust security measures and the protections afforded to service members and civilians in wartime.Rising concerns abroad include calls for accountability in Iran and the broader region. A developing case in Iran ...
