BREAKING NEWS | PAKISTAN RESTRICTS AIRSPACE FOR TAIWANESE AIRLINES, REAFFIRMS ONE-CHINA POLICY
ISLAMABAD, October 28, 2026 — Pakistan has barred Taiwanese airlines from using its airspace, reinforcing Islamabad’s longstanding commitment to the One-China Principle, according to media reports. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif reportedly confirmed that Pakistan’s aviation policy permits overflights by mainland Chinese airlines while excluding Taiwanese carriers.
The reported restriction has affected the flight routes of Taiwan-based carriers, including China Airlines and EVA Air, prompting them to use alternative routes for certain international services.
Pakistan has consistently recognized the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China and regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of Chinese territory. Islamabad has repeatedly reaffirmed its support for Beijing’s position on Taiwan in bilateral and multilateral forums.
The development underscores the close strategic partnership between Pakistan and China and reflects Islamabad’s continued adherence to its declared One-China policy.

A comparison of pre-election opinion polls and exit polls shows the following projections for Likud:
Channel 11: 20 → 25 seats
Channel 12: 21 → 24 seats
Channel 13: 19 → 25 seats
Channel 14: 30 → 30 seats
Channel 15: 24 → 25 seats
Notably, Channels 11, 12, and 13 all projected significantly fewer seats for Likud in their pre-election polls than in their exit polls.
🇮🇱⚡ CHANNEL 14: LIEBERMAN AT RISK
Channel 14 projects that Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu and a member of the Eisenkot-led Yashar bloc, could fall below Israel’s 3.25% electoral threshold, potentially leaving his party without representation in the Knesset.
🚨 BREAKING: Channel 14’s latest poll puts Israel’s right-wing bloc at 62 seats in the Knesset, crossing the 61-seat threshold for a majority.
📊 A significant shift in Israel’s political landscape. 🇮🇱
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡- "After the elections, the possibility of a confrontation with Iran exists - but it depends on the Americans. The intention is to pursue a joint course of action, if the decision on this matter is made by President Trump," - An Israeli security source tells Israeli Channel 12.
🇮🇱⚡️- Summary of all exit polls: All Israeli television channels projected Netanyahu’s Likud as the largest party in terms of seats, while Channel 14—the Israeli equivalent of Fox News—projected his bloc securing 60 seats.
🇮🇱⚡️- Voter turnout in Israel has reached 74.3% as of 8 PM, with two hours remaining until polls close.
📊 This marks the highest voter turnout in nearly four decades.
🇮🇱⚡- The Likud-camp believe the Yashar-camp would receive first mandate from the President in forming a government, Ma'ariv reports. The phase could last approximately 28 days (+14 additional days).
If Yashar fail, the President will pass the role to the Likud-camp, who will have a similar amount of time.
If both parties fail, the President will call for a second election, that could take place in early 2027.
During the entire process, Benjamin Netanyahu will assume the role of a caretaker Prime Minister.
The options to form a government are passing the 61 seats threshold, forming a minority government, or a Yashar-led unity government with Likud.
🇮🇱⚡️- Channel 15 is now also forecasting that Gadi Eisenkot could be tasked with forming the next Israeli government.
🇮🇱⚡️- The Joint List, an Arab political coalition, says it will play a decisive role in any political scenario and make responsible decisions in the coming weeks, regardless of how events unfold.
🇮🇱📊 ISRAEL ELECTIONS: TURNOUT BY DISTRICT VS. 2022 VOTING PATTERNS
With roughly 25 minutes remaining until polls close, here is the reported turnout by district as of 8 PM, alongside how each district voted in 2022.
🔹 Judea and Samaria: 74.2% — the highest reported turnout. Netanyahu’s bloc won 82.1% here in 2022.
🔹 Central District: 71.4% — the second-highest turnout. In 2022, Netanyahu’s bloc received 46.2%, compared with 45.0% for the opposition, a narrow 1.2-point gap.
🔹 Northern District: 69.9%. Arab parties collectively received 38.0% of the vote in 2022, more than either major bloc.
🔹 Southern District: 67.9%. Netanyahu’s bloc secured 58.6% in 2022.
🔹 Haifa District: 66.5%. The opposition led with 44.1%, followed by Netanyahu’s bloc at 38.8% and Arab parties at 14.7%.
🔹 Tel Aviv District: 66.0%. The opposition received 52.8%, compared with 43.5% for Netanyahu’s bloc.
🔹 Jerusalem District: 63.8% — the lowest reported turnout. Netanyahu’s bloc received 73.8% here in 2022.
📊 Key takeaways:
• The two districts with the highest reported turnout have very different political profiles: Judea and Samaria is a Netanyahu stronghold, while the Central District was closely divided between the two major blocs in 2022.
• The Northern District, where Arab parties secured a substantial share of the vote, ranks third in reported turnout.
• Jerusalem presents a notable contrast: despite strong support for Netanyahu’s bloc in 2022, it has the lowest reported turnout in this dataset.
⏰ Exit polls are expected at 10 PM.
⚠️ Data note: The 2026 district figures are drawn from a locality-level dataset that may have incomplete coverage. They do not reconcile with the reported national turnout of 74.3% at 8 PM and should therefore be treated as preliminary, not as verified districtwide turnout rates.
