    Widespread Power Outage in Schleswig-Holstein Resolved

    Around 40,000 people in western Schleswig-Holstein experienced a power outage due to a fault in the 110,000-volt high-voltage network. The disruption affected several districts and caused transformer stations to shut down. A fire occurred at an overvoltage arrester in Friedrichstadt, and a thatched-roof house in Bunsoh caught fire due to voltage fluctuations. Power was restored after about two hours, but a few households remained without power. The cause of the overvoltage remains unknown.

Mansour Abbas, leader of the United Arab List, is offering a partnership with Gadi Eisenkot, the opposition's leading candidate. However, Eisenkot has so far ruled out forming a government with Arab parties due to ideological differences. Netanyahu, meanwhile, is campaigning on the threat of an 'Eisenkot-Abbas' alliance.
