PENTAGON SENDS ANOTHER PATRIOT BATTERY TO ISRAEL. NO CLEAR WINNER OF ELECTION DECLARED IN ISRAELI ELECTION. CONTAINERSHIP STRUCK BY DRONES IN BLACK SEA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Spain: This morning a major incident was reported on the Seville/Madrid rail line in the province of Toledo. Local authorities state that a Renfe train rear-ended an Iryo train that was halted on the track, as both were heading toward Seville. Concerning casualties, the collision resulted in a total of 46x fatalities, and 179x injured. The cause of the crash has not yet been disclosed officially, however initial reports indicate the Renfe train might have inadvertently been given instruction to proceed past a red signal. Middle East: Overnight the Pentagon began the deployment of another Patriot battery to Israel, with transport aircraft being noted moving the air defense system to the region. Otherwise logistical movements continue as before, with routine cargo flights remaining constant throughout the region. Analyst Comment: Last night President Trump himself stated at a rally in Florida that "we may do another little Epic Fury" after the midterm elections, directly confirming that the intent is present to return to the more kinetic phase of the war. Whether or not this is a genuine plan is debatable; President Trump has a history of changing his mind at the last minute....but with warfare, he has rarely bluffed. Considering the broad history of the war over the past eight months, the recent rhetoric is more indicative of a return to combat conditions rather than empty threats intended to sway diplomatic efforts. Black Sea: This afternoon another vessel was struck within Bulgarian waters, with the M/V CONTSHIP JET (IMO: 9348625) reporting being hit by three drones early this morning. None of the crew members were wounded, and all were rescued after abandoning ship. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comment: Within Israel, the vote count continued overnight, with no clear winner emerging by morning. Current vote counts as of this afternoon indicate that neither Netanyahu nor Eisenkot have received the majority needed to form a government without a coalition. Based on the official vote count so far, this is looking like a de facto victory for Netanyahu, even though his party is likely going to lose the majority lead they previously held. In Parliamentary systems around the world, parties which fail to get a majority, must form a coalition government with another party, counting that party's votes toward the total. In short, if a party can't clear 50%, they will have to join together with a smaller party to bump them up into the majority. Normally, when coalition governments are formed, political deals are made: the smaller party gets positions in government (and thus more power), and the larger party gets to form the majority of government. In this case, the margin is razor thin even a day after the polls closed. In the short term, the election is not likely to result in much immediate change, at least not within the window of potential escalation that's on the menu over the next few weeks. If neither party is able to secure a majority, Netanyahu remains Prime Minister for several more months, as some form of coalition is formed. If no agreement can be achieved, the election itself will be run once again next spring and the process starts all over again, with Netanyahu remaining Prime Minister in the meantime.
