Israel held a pivotal election, with turnout so far the highest on record at the time of the BBC report. It is the first election since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel and the subsequent wars.
The vote is widely seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government's handling of security and the wars that followed the October 7 attacks.
As of the BBC report, turnout in Israel's election was the highest on record at that point. The election is the first since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel and subsequent wars, and is being treated as a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu.

SA developer on X just posted a concept redesign for Safari's developer tools.
EAnd he tagged Apple, because of course he did. It looks better than the real thing.
SIt's a concept. Apple hasn't said a word.
EThat's the point! Birat Datta built what Apple should have built years ago.
SLet me guess: clean console, proper network tab, a flexbox inspector that actually works.
EAll of it. The post starts with 'Every web dev has a Safari DevTools horror story.' That line hits.
SIt lands because it's true. I've lost days to Safari's console just eating errors.
EAnd yet Apple keeps shipping updates that break debugging extensions. This concept fixes the pain.
SBut you're assuming Apple cares. They don't.
EWhy not? Safari is the only browser on iOS, not some niche product.
SBecause Apple wants developers in the App Store, not building web apps. This is structural.
EThat's outdated. They added web push, they improved progressive web apps. They're not blind.
SOne feature in a decade. Meanwhile Chrome's devtools are evolving every month.
ESo your solution is just... accept it? Tagging Apple is pointless?
SI'm saying a concept image with a tag isn't going to move a trillion-dollar company.
EMaybe not alone. But if enough devs amplify it, someone inside Apple sees the demand.
SOh, please. I've filed radars. They go to a black hole.
EUnlike Chrome, which just reads your mind and fixes bugs before you report them.
SOkay, fair. But that's exactly why this concept will stay a concept.
EHere's where we actually disagree: I think the concept itself has value. It shows what's possible.
SValue is fine. Shipping is different. As far as I know, Apple has never shipped a community DevTools concept.
ESome say Google's devtools started as a community project before Chrome absorbed it. It happens.
SGoogle is not Apple. Apple treats Safari like a state secret.
ESo what do you want, Sloane? For web devs to abandon Safari?
SI want Apple to fix it. I'm not saying they shouldn't. I'm saying a tag on X won't make them.
EThen what would? A lawsuit? A mass boycott?
SA mass boycott would be nice, but users are on iOS. We can't walk away.
ERight! So you're stuck. When you're stuck, you tag Apple and hope someone inside listens.
SThat's not a strategy, that's a prayer.
EMaybe. But it's better than silence. And this concept is a good prayer.
SI'd rather see a real patch. Until then, I'll keep debugging in Chrome and testing Safari like it's a museum piece.
EA museum piece with, by some estimates, a big chunk of the mobile web traffic.
SWhich is exactly why Apple can ignore us. They have the users.
EThat's also why they shouldn't ignore us. Bad dev tools mean worse web apps for everyone.
SI don't disagree. I just don't think this post changes anything.
EFine. Then maybe you should tag Tim Cook directly.
SOh sure, I'll add that to my next radar. I'm sure he'll see it.
EYou joke, but the original post got a lot of attention. Apple might be watching.
SApple is always watching. They just don't act unless it hurts their bottom line.
EMaybe this time it's different. The web is too big to keep neglecting.
SI'll believe it when I see a Safari release note with 'redesigned DevTools' in it.
EUntil then, at least we have Birat's concept to show what we're missing.
SAnd a new horror story to tell.
