Israeli election: lengthy coalition talks loom as early results point to deadlock

Rivals Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz both pledge to form coalition as counting continues. 

An inconclusive result from the country’s second election this year could plunge Israel further into political mayhem, with the prospect of weeks of tense political deal-making or even a third vote.

With 62% of the vote counted, official results put the opposition Blue and White party on 25.66% and rivals Likud on 25.03% with a total of 25,000 actual votes between them.

Saudi oil attack: Trump says he has asked for more Iran sanctions

Donald Trump announced his first practical response to the attack on Saudi oil installations when he revealed he has asked the US Treasury to increase sanctions substantially on Iran.

The US Treasury has been mounting an ever more exhaustive regime of sanctions on the country since the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal last year in an attempt to force Tehran to reopen and broaden the deal.

Robert O'Brien replaces John Bolton as Trump's national security adviser

Unlike his firebrand predecessor, Robert O’Brien is seen as a low-profile loyalist, and his appointment is widely viewed in Washington as a win for the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who had competed with Bolton for the president’s ear.

The president is said to have been impressed with O’Brien’s work on extracting Americans held in North Korea and Turkey. He made an rare appearance in the headlines when Trump sent him to Stockholm to monitor the trial of A$AP Rocky, a political stunt that infuriated the Swedish government.

O’Brien, a Mormon, was a campaign adviser to Mitt Romney, but has been unstintingly loyal to Trump, careful to credit him with any hostage successes.

Saudi oil attacks: All the latest updates

Riyadh says it will unveil probe results and present material evidence as Iran, in message to US, denies involvement.

The pre-dawn attacks on Saturday knocked out more than half of crude output from the world's top exporter - five percent of the global oil supply - and cut output by 5.7 million barrels per day.

But US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo swiftly accused Iran of being behind the assault, without providing any evidence. The claim was rejected by Tehran which said the allegations were meant to justify actions against it.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, has promised to "confront and deal with this terrorist aggression", while US President Donald Trump hinted at possible military action after Riyadh concluded its investigation into the attacks.

Venezuela's key opposition leader Edgar Zambrano released

Zambrano was arrested in May for supporting a failed uprising led by opposition leader Juan Guaido on April 30.

Venezuela's government has released opposition politician Edgar Zambrano from custody four months after his arrest on treason charges.

But Zambrano's case remains open. The legislator is expected to appear before the court every 30 days, and he is forbidden from leaving the country, a statement by the Supreme Court said.

The announcement followed a message by Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez who said the government and several minor opposition parties, headed by Deputy Timoteo Zambrano, struck a "peace deal".
