Netanyahu Asserts Universal Application of Law in Golan, West Bank, and Ayalon Highway

Opposition leaders criticized Netanyahu's government's record on security and the economy during a parliamentary debate.

Obi and Atiku contest Nigerian presidential election outcome.

Nigeria's opposition leaders, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, have filed petitions to cancel the results of last month's presidential election, citing irregularities and accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of breaching the law. They have asked for a fresh vote to be conducted. The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party's candidate, Bola Tinubu, won the election, which has been defended as credible by Tinubu.
