Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Israeli election results leave both blocs short of a Knesset majority as coalition talks begin
Final results from Tuesday's election for the 26th Knesset gave Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc 53 seats, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot 48 seats, and Palestinian/Arab parties 19 seats, leaving neither bloc with the 61 needed for a majority. President Isaac Herzog is expected to invite the party most likely to form a government to begin coalition negotiations. Shas chairman Arye Deri has ruled out joining an Eisenkot-led government without Likud, while United Torah Judaism is weighing talks with the opposition bloc.
