‘Trump is so impatient and given to simplistic narratives’
Dan Perry, former regional editor for the Associated Press and former chairman of the Foreign Press Association in Israel, told Al Jazeera the Israelis are paying a “tremendous amount of attention” to the US election.
“I think there is a sense that what happens will impact Israel and there is a lot of anxiousness in Israel for something to happen that is different from the reality. So they are certainly on tenterhooks waiting to see what will happen,” he said.
Perry said some Israelis who are “happy with the status quo” in the Middle East, especially the Palestinian question, may prefer Trump. But, he added, they may be “surprised with what’s coming because Trump is so impatient and so given to simplistic narratives”.
“I can see him [Trump] turning on a dime and doing things that may be surprising,” he said, adding that the Republican leader is “more likely to act to change the narrative and it could work in favour of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu or it could go against him or Israel”.
“I can see Trump absolutely going around and laying down the law, saying no more proxies across the region taking over countries and no more nukes. I can’t see Harris doing that and she will acquiesce to a story that for many in the region is not a good story,” he said.
“With the Middle East, Trump is basically a cipher.”

How do you win the presidential election?
To win the White House, a presidential candidate must secure 270 Electoral College votes.
These votes are allocated to US states based on their representation in Congress, which varies based on their population size.
For example, Delaware, a small northeastern state with a population of about 1 million, has just three Electoral votes. California, the most populous US state with 39 million people, has a commanding 54 Electoral votes.
In nearly every state, the presidential candidate who gets the most votes wins all that state’s electors.
This system means it is possible for a candidate to win the nation’s overall popular vote, but lose in the Electoral College, which happened in both 2000 and 2016.
According to US media tallies, Harris can count on 226 Electoral votes this election from states that reliably vote Democratic or lean Democratic, while Trump can count on 219 Electoral votes to go his way.
That means Harris needs to pick up 44 more votes to reach the 270 threshold, while Trump needs 51 more. The seven “swing states” – where candidates are all but deadlocked in the polls – together hold 93 Electoral votes.

What are swing states and why do they matter?
- Brian Osgood
Also known as battleground states, swing states are the states that usually determine the outcome of the US presidential election.
Because the US votes following an Electoral College system, the outcome usually comes down to states that “swing” from Republican to Democrat while other states consistently vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in each election cycle (almost always, that is).
This year, the states being closely watched are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in addition to new entry, North Carolina.
That’s the reason why both Harris and Trump have spent so much time there over the past few months.

Iran says election winner won’t alter its strategies with US
- Maziar Motamedi
As the US votes, Iran is grappling with a particularly challenging reality, analysts say: Tensions with Washington appear poised to remain sky-high regardless of who ends up in the White House.
Democrat Harris and Republican Trump are gunning for the presidency at a time when a third major Iranian strike on Israel appears almost certain and concerns over an all-out regional war persist.
The effect of who the US selects as the next president will be felt around the world, and few countries are as directly affected as Iran.

War in Gaza is ‘moral compass’ for Arab American voters
Sam Baydoun, commissioner of Wayne County, where the city of Dearborn is located, spoke to Al Jazeera about how US-funded wars in Gaza and Lebanon are influencing the voting decisions of Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan.
“The war in Gaza has become the moral compass for Arab Americans and throughout the world,” Baydoun told Al Jazeera from Dearborn. “Today, while we are casting our votes… Israel is dropping some of the most sophisticated weapons on our civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. Those bombs are being paid for by our government.”
While Baydoun says he will not vote for Republican candidate Donald Trump, he understands why others are doing so “out of frustration with the Democratic party“.
“We are in a constant state of mourning in the Dearborn community. We’re losing loved ones every day,” he said.
“There is a pharmacist of Palestinian origin who lives in my district. He lost 80 members of his family in one strike in the refugee camp of Jabalia. How can I tell this pharmacist to go out and cast a vote today, whether it’s [for] the Republican or the Democrat?”
