Story summary

The Albanese government in Australia has abandoned plans to sell Victoria Barracks in Sydney, a colonial-era military headquarters, after it failed to secure $3 billion from the sale as part of efforts to address budget deficits. New polling shows that trust in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has dropped sharply, with only 20 percent of voters expressing confidence in him, blaming his government for the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, in Israel, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot aims to form a broad coalition government but faces challenges following an October 27 election that left both he and rival Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu short of a majority needed to govern.
