Here’s what you need to know:
• Israeli leader captures fourth term.
Against most expectations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won a resounding victory, but the hard work of forming a government begins today.
Trailing in the last opinion polls before the vote, he promised that no Palestinian state would be established as long as he remained in office, and insulted Arab citizens.
That raises questions about his ability to heal Israel’s wounds.
• The president’s priorities.
President Obama visits Cleveland today to press his case for more government action to help the middle class.
It is his attempt to frame the budget debate before a struggle with congressional Republicans over whether and how to replace a decade-long set of spending caps and cuts.
Senate Republicans unveil their competing budget plan this afternoon.
• Central bank protests.
The police in Frankfurt used tear gas today against demonstrators outside the European Central Bank, which was inaugurating its new headquarters.
