Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, said the EU and Canada could form the start of a "club of democratic states" to build an open, reliable partner network to defend shared interests, uphold international rules and strengthen the WTO.

Voting began Tuesday in Israel's national election, with the prospect of a war with Iran a central voter issue. Defense Minister KATZ said voters face a choice between an offensive, proactive route aimed at decisive victory and a return to deterrence and restraint. He said Israel has struck Iran twice, removed an existential-level threat, expanded security buffers in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, and is strengthening and consolidating defenses along the eastern border and in the Jordan Valley. KATZ urged voters to back this line so Netanyahu can 'complete the mission' against Iran.
