Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in the Miami area with his family after traveling through Argentina, confirming his departure from Brazil after his whereabouts had been uncertain. A Brazilian court had ordered him to surrender his passports and barred him from leaving the country amid investigations into alleged financial crimes, including corruption, money laundering and tax evasion; he denies wrongdoing. The Trump administration said it would grant visas to Bolsonaro and his family, and President Donald Trump said he approved of Bolsonaro coming to the United States while criticizing Brazil’s election without offering evidence. Bolsonaro lost the runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after leading the first round, and his departure fueled political memes in Brazil.

Israel Election Leaves No Bloc With Clear Majority

As Israel heads toward an election, Netanyahu faces calls to leave office over responsibility for the October 7 security failure and resistance to an independent inquiry, while opponents also attack him as too open to Palestinian statehood. The campaign reflects deep divisions over war and peace, alongside an unprecedented alliance in which Jewish Zionist candidate Yoav Segalovitz is running with an Arab party to help Gadi Eisenkot form a government.
