In Ramallah, the Central Election Commission has held a news conference on the results of Saturday's election in the occupied West Bank and in one area of Gaza.
The commission says turnout was significantly lower than average, especially in Gaza's Deir el-Balah, where it was the lowest across the electoral map.
The municipal vote was the first in any part of Gaza in more than two decades.

The Israeli military has dropped leaflets over the Tyre District in southern Lebanon, warning residents to avoid moving south of at least 20 villages and not to approach the Litani River area, the Salhani Valley and Al-Salkuki, as Israeli forces say they plan to target what they call "Hezbollah sites" in those areas. The leaflets come as Israel continues to demolish villages in the zone along the border with bulldozers and explosives, having originally named about 60 villages and now occupying around 47 to 50 of them. The information in the leaflets, combined with an increasing frequency of air strikes north of the so-called "yellow line," suggests that areas beyond the line are not safe either.
Hezbollah says it has only fired rockets in recent days in response to Israel's violations of the ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he is returning fire deeper into Lebanon. Since the beginning of the ceasefire, neither side has stopped firing rockets, bombs or missiles, and the direction of travel appears to be towards further escalation.

A large-scale coordinated attack by al-Qaeda-affiliated militants from JNIM (Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin) and Tuareg rebels from the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) struck multiple military sites across Mali on Saturday, with sources telling Al Jazeera that Defence Minister General Sadio Camara has been killed.
His residence in the heavily guarded garrison town of Kati, considered one of the most secure locations in the country, was destroyed by a suicide car bomb attack. As the attacks continue more than 24 hours after they began on Saturday morning, residents of Kati can still hear heavy gunfire and loud explosions, while violence has also spread to the northern towns of Kidal, Gao and Sevare, as well as the capital Bamako.
JNIM, which has been fighting the Bamako military junta for years, said the attacks were carried out in coordination with Tuareg rebels, describing them as the "most serious attacks launched against the junta in years."
Malian junta leader General Assimi Goita is said to be alive and in a secure location, but the loss of Camara — a key figure who orchestrated the pullout of French forces and the arrival of Russian mercenaries — has raised questions about the military's ability to remain in command.
A three-day overnight curfew has been imposed in Bamako, while the African Union has condemned the attacks and warned that civilians are at serious risk.

Ethiopia is facing a deepening fuel crisis as the war on Iran and closure of strait of Hormuz drives up global oil prices and disrupts supply chains.
In Addis Ababa, drivers queue for days at petrol stations often only to find no fuel available, leaving taxis and lorries stranded. Transport shortages have pushed up food prices by nearly 40 percent, with markets struggling to explain daily increases to customers. Export-dependent businesses report shipping costs have more than doubled, threatening their viability. Ethiopia imports nearly all its fuel from the Gulf region, making it acutely vulnerable to the economic shockwaves of distant conflict.

As Palestinians prepare for municipal elections across the West Bank and Gaza — the first in nearly two decades — an Al Jazeera interview examined whether the process represents genuine democratic reform. Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative and former Palestinian Minister of Information, told Al Jazeera from Ramallah that the elections "do not" bring a new political reality and will only maintain "the same system that was there all the time." He explained that elections are happening in only 42 percent of communities (183 out of 429), with 49 communities having no candidates and 197 communities having only one list — meaning "no real elections" there. Barghouti said the Palestinian Authority imposed a condition requiring candidates to commit to its political program, which he called "a constitutional violation of people's rights to freedom of expression and freedom of belief," leading his party and others to boycott. He noted that there have been no legislative council elections for 20 years and no presidential elections for 21 years, adding that elections did not take place in the north of Gaza, in Rafah, or in other parts of the Strip because these areas are "occupied by the Israeli army, which of course does not allow people to have normal life or normal ability to have elections" — noting that Gaza City has not held elections since 1956. Barghouti warned that actual participation is only 17 percent, and that without free democratic elections — presidential, legislative and for the Palestinian National Council — "we cannot speak about separation of powers, and all the powers in the Palestinian Authority are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people."

Police have arrested a suspected gunman who opened fire at a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner attended by US President Donald Trump.
Secret Service agents evacuated Trump and cabinet members as thousands of attendees ducked for cover when shooting began. One officer was struck but protected by a bulletproof vest.
Authorities say the heavily armed suspect, a hotel guest, was acting alone and is now in custody.
This marks the third assassination attempt against Trump, following incidents in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Multiple investigations are underway into security failures at the high-profile event.

US President Donald Trump has addressed reporters after an apparent assassination attempt was thwarted during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Secret Service agents intercepted a heavily armed suspect inside the hotel hosting the event, stopping him at a security checkpoint before he could reach the main ballroom. Gunshots were heard, prompting panic among attendees and a rapid evacuation of the president, the first lady and senior officials.
Authorities confirmed the suspect, reportedly a hotel guest from California, is in custody and faces multiple charges, including assault on federal officers. One Secret Service agent was injured during the incident.
The president was swiftly taken to the White House, where he later praised security personnel for their rapid response. Investigations are now under way into how the suspect was able to enter a heavily secured venue.
The incident has raised fresh concerns about security at high-profile events and echoes past attacks, including the Attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan at the same hotel.
Officials say the event may be rescheduled, with significantly tighter security measures expected.

A bomb-laden bus has exploded, killing at least 14 people on Colombia’s Pan-American Highway to Venezuela. The country’s president says a dissident FARC leader, known as Marlon, is responsible.
US President Donald Trump is addressing reporters at the White House after being evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner following a shooting incident.
Gunshots were reported outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, prompting a rapid response from Secret Service agents, who escorted the president and senior officials to safety. Authorities confirmed that a suspect is in custody and no injuries have been reported among attendees.
The annual event, attended by political leaders, journalists and public figures, was cut short as law enforcement secured the area and began an investigation.
The president is now delivering remarks from the White House, outlining what is known so far and responding to the security breach at one of Washington’s most closely watched gatherings.

US President Donald Trump has been evacuated after gunshots were fired during the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC.
Security personnel swiftly moved the president and key officials to safety as chaos briefly unfolded inside the ballroom. Authorities later confirmed that a suspect had been apprehended and no injuries were reported.
The incident occurred at one of Washington’s most high-profile gatherings, attended by political leaders, journalists and public figures. A heavy security cordon was quickly established around the venue as law enforcement began an investigation.
Despite initial plans to continue the programme, officials ordered the evacuation of attendees in line with security protocols. The president is expected to address the incident from the White House.
Questions remain over how a gunman was able to breach security at a heavily guarded event.

US President Donald Trump has cancelled a trip by US officials to Islamabad for Iran peace talks. There were hopes the officials might meet with Iran’s foreign minister to negotiate an end to the stand-off, but Trump has claimed Iran’s proposed terms were insufficient.
Photos of Jeffrey Epstein and US President Trump were projected onto the hotel hosting this year’s White House Correspondents' Dinner. It’s Trump’s first time attending, after previously boycotting the event.
Mali has imposed a 72-hour curfew in the capital, Bamako, after a wave of coordinated attacks on military targets across the country.
Fighting has been reported in several مناطق, including Kati—home to the country’s military leadership. Armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda and Tuareg fighters launched near-simultaneous assaults, signaling a dangerous escalation.
In Sevare, gunfire erupted near a base used by Russian-backed Africa Corps forces. Meanwhile, in the north, fighters claimed control in Gao and Kidal.
Some of these fighters are linked to Jama’at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group. What’s striking is that Tuareg rebels and jihadist fighters—often rivals—now appear to be working together against Mali’s army.
Despite government claims that the situation is under control, fear is growing. Reports suggest civilians are taking security into their own hands, raising concerns about further violence.
Mali’s military, already stretched thin, faces threats from multiple armed groups, including affiliates of Islamic State.
As instability deepens, the question remains: how far will this conflict spread?
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports.

President Donald Trump has cancelled plans to send a United States delegation to Pakistan, adding to uncertainty over potential talks with Iran.
Tehran insists no formal meeting with US officials had been agreed, despite earlier expectations that Islamabad could host negotiations. The move follows days of diplomatic activity involving multiple regional players.
Pakistan has been working to mediate between Washington and Tehran, with officials holding calls with Iran, Egypt and Russia. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also been travelling across the region, including visits to Oman and plans to continue to Moscow.
In Islamabad, restrictions in the diplomatic zone are being lifted after heightened security during the anticipated talks. While the cancellation marks a setback, diplomats say efforts are continuing behind closed doors.
Officials describe diplomacy as an ongoing process rather than a single event. Pakistan remains hopeful that a second round of talks could still take place, though timing and conditions remain unclear.
The situation reflects fragile progress, with both sides signalling openness to dialogue but remaining far apart on key issues.
Al Jazeera's Osama Bin Javaid has the view from Islamabad on Pakistan's mediation efforts.

A former United States Deputy National Security Adviser to President George W. Bush says tensions between Washington and Tehran have entered a new phase of pressure and uncertainty.
Following President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel a delegation to Islamabad, analysts say a three-way dynamic is shaping the crisis. The United States is increasing pressure on Iran through a global blockade, while Iran is exerting influence over energy markets. China also plays a critical role due to its economic ties with Tehran.
Key issues remain unresolved, including control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear programme. The presence of enriched uranium and the future of sanctions continue to complicate negotiations.
Regional dynamics add another layer of difficulty. Armed groups aligned with Iran remain active, raising questions about long-term stability in the Middle East even if a deal is reached.
Economic pressure inside Iran is intensifying, with high inflation and growing hardship. However, analysts say the country’s system has adapted to prolonged sanctions, making rapid change unlikely.
The Trump administration’s approach has been described as strategic ambiguity, balancing pressure with limited diplomatic engagement. Critics argue that earlier and more coordinated action with allies could have increased leverage.
As talks remain uncertain, the situation highlights the complexity of reaching a lasting agreement between two sides with deep mistrust and competing interests.

United States President Donald Trump has cancelled a planned trip by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, raising fresh uncertainty over efforts to revive talks with Iran.
The White House had confirmed the visit as part of diplomatic attempts to end the conflict, but Trump said the proposals presented were not sufficient. He reiterated that any deal must ensure Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon.
Despite the cancellation, diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is engaged in regional discussions, including visits to Oman and Pakistan, where a proposed framework for ending the conflict has been shared through intermediaries.
Key sticking points remain, including the United States blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear programme and long-standing sanctions. Tehran says it will not negotiate under pressure, while Washington continues to apply military and economic leverage.
Pakistan is playing a central mediating role, maintaining communication channels between both sides and expressing hope for a second round of talks.
Economic pressure inside Iran is intensifying, with the blockade affecting trade, oil exports and daily life. At the same time, both sides signal that the diplomatic window remains open, even as trust remains low.
The situation highlights a fragile balance between negotiation and escalation, with the risk of renewed conflict still present.

US President Donald Trump has indefinitely extended a ceasefire with Iran, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Three ships have been attacked in the past week, and Tehran shows no sign of yielding. Trump has simultaneously issued shoot-to-kill orders against small Iranian boats, while Iran's chief negotiator's adviser declared the ceasefire extension "means nothing".
This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with journalists Samira Mohyeddin and John Fredericks about who really holds the cards in this conflict and whether the US blockade will bring the Iranian regime to its knees, or entrench a deepening deadlock.

US President Trump has addressed the media after cancelling the Pakistan trip by his mediators to discuss the situation with Iran.
“I think Pakistan is terrific, I think the field marshal is fantastic, and I think the prime minister is outstanding. And you know they’d like to see something happen, but we’re not going to be traveling for 15 or 16 hours to have a meeting with people nobody has heard of before,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One in Florida.
“Too much traveling, takes too long, too expensive. They weren’t meeting with the leader of the country. They were meeting with other people, and I said we’re just not going to do it.”

Since the start of the war with Iran, US President Donald Trump has discussed a plan to take control of what he refers to as Iran’s “nuclear dust,” a reference to the country’s highly enriched uranium.
However, any military operation to seize these sensitive materials would be extremely risky for US forces, given the heavily fortified sites, the hazardous nature of radioactive material, and the high likelihood of armed confrontation.
