A former Israeli armed forces chief who, opinion polls show, poses the toughest challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bid for reelection next year formally established a political party on Thursday.

Details about Benny Gantz’s Israel Resilience Party, leaked to local media after it was registered, gave little indication of its ideological tilt.

Along with preserving Israel as “a Jewish and democratic country”, the party pledged unspecified changes to priorities in national security and the economy.

Polling has predicted an easy win for Netanyahu in the April 9 election, with his rightist Likud party taking around 30 of parliament’s 120 seats and on course to form a coalition government similar to the current cabinet.

The surveys, published after Netanyahu announced on Monday (December 24) an election some seven months before one was due by law, gave second place to a then-hypothetical Gantz party. The polls forecast it would take around 15 seats.

Gantz, 59, became Israel’s top general in 2011 after stints as commander of forces on the combustible northern frontier with Syria and Lebanon and as military attache in Washington. During his four-year term he oversaw two wars in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Indonesia has raised the alert level for the erupting Anak Krakatau volcano days after it triggered a tsunami that killed more than 400 people on the passing Saturday.

At the same time, the police on sea patrol are trying to convince people living on tiny islands near the volcano to evacuate for their own safety.

When the tsunami struck, four out of 100 residents on an island called Sangiang in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra were killed and dozens others injured by the surging waves. Most of those who survived have been evacuated. Given the fact that the volcano is still active, police want the rest to leave.

But they’re strong-willed and say they’re remaining where they are. Police have to make do with delivering supplies and giving any help that is needed.

Nunung Syaifuddin, Commissioner of the Indonesian National Police, said, “I understand the people. I would like to take them off the island but there is high ground and they feel safe.”

The islands are much closer to the Anak Krakatau volcano, also known as Child of Krakatoa volcano, than either Java or Sumatra ,which were both ravaged when the tsunami came ashore.

The mission on Java to recover those still missing and began to re-build has been hampered by bad weather. Roads have been flooded, at times bringing aid convoys to a standstill.

With a high death toll, thousands of homes and businesses have been reduced to matchwood. Many people have been forced into evacuation centers.

Meanwhile, the volcano is continuing to rumble, spewing ash and smoke into the sky, raising fears of further eruptions. Boats have been ordered to keep clear and all flights have taken other routes.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Col. Rajyavardhan  Rathore has questioned the Congress for raising objections to the film “Accidental Prime Minister” – ” a biopic based on the life and works of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.

The trailer of the film was released on Thursday. The film is based on the book by same name authored by Sanjay Baru who served as the former PM’s media advisor from 2004 to 2008.

Congress party has raised objections to the film terming it as a propaganda.. I&B minister Rathore underlined the importance of creative freedom.
