Indo-Pacific Quad ministers work on supply chains, denounce arbitrary export restrictions

ATLANTA, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Foreign ministers from the US, Australia, India and Japan on Saturday pledged to work on building reliable global supply chains and expressed grave concerns ‌about what they called "economic coercion" through export restrictions and non-market practices, but stopped short of calling out China.

The joint statement by the foreign ministers of the Indo-Pacific "Quad" came at a time when Japan has been extremely critical of Beijing over its restrictions on critical mineral exports, and the US has been assembling a coalition aimed at uniting G20 countries concerned about China's dominance in rare earths and other critical minerals.

The meeting was held shortly before US Secretary of State ⁠Marco Rubio hosted the final session of a meeting in Atlanta of foreign ministers from the broader Group of 20 major economies, which includes China.

The Quad ministers reiterated their support for a free and open Indo-Pacific, underscoring the importance of economic security in maintaining global stability and prosperity, including through reliable and open global supply chains.

"They expressed grave concerns regarding economic coercion, including through arbitrary export restrictions, as well as non-market policies and practices that result in overcapacity to disrupt global supply chains in critical industries," the joint statement said.

The ministers also emphasized the "absolute necessity to protect and preserve navigational rights and freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait," the statement said.

The group pledged more than $85 million in assistance to ‌support trusted ⁠artificial intelligence technologies across the Indo-Pacific region and said it would launch a new effort to identify vulnerabilities in semiconductor and related supply chains before they cause disruptions.

It was the third meeting of the Quad foreign ministers this year, with plans taking shape for US President Donald Trump to attend his first formal meeting of the leaders of the four countries next month in Manila during a conference of the Association of Southeast Asian ⁠Nations.

Rubio told reporters that a Quad leaders meeting in Manila would "hopefully" be announced very soon, but gave no further details.

He said the Quad was not "an anti-China or anti-anybody coalition," adding that the joint statement was raising concerns about behaviors and activities that he said were "coming repetitively from ⁠one country."

He said the US had invested a lot of time in the Quad group and wanted to continue to build on its work on specific projects and initiatives, including a $20 million project in Palau aimed at improving its digital infrastructure.

Rubio said ⁠the four countries had already made substantial progress in ensuring they could pool resources in the event of a humanitarian crisis or national disaster, and also planned to set up a business forum so that businesses in all four nations could find new opportunities to work together.

With all votes counted, Netanyahu’s bloc has 53 seats, Eisenkot’s 48, Arab parties 19

The Central Elections Committee (CEC) published the final results of the 2026 national election in the early hours of Friday morning.

The full official results are slated to be presented to President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, after the CEC completes any final inquiries into errors or complaints. Following that, Herzog will meet with each party leader as they issue their recommendation for the person they believe should form the next government.

The final voter turnout was 77.9% of eligible voters — the highest figure in decades — with 5,716,665 votes cast.

The final results give Likud 27 seats, Yashar 21, B’Yachad 12, the Joint List 11, The Democrats 8, Ra’am 8, Yisrael Beytenu 7, United Torah Judaism 7, Otzma Yehudit 7, Shas 6 and Religious Zionism 6.

Yoaz Hendel’s Reservists-Economic party fell below the 3.25% electoral threshold with 2.63% of the vote, along with Ofer Winter’s People of Israel, which had collected just 1.7% of the vote. The Charedi Public, a longshot party that had offered an alternative vision to Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities, was far below the threshold, with just 0.2% of the vote.

These results leave the pro-Netanyahu bloc with 53 seats, the anti-Netanyahu bloc with 48 and the Arab factions with 19. The parties in the pro-Netanyahu bloc, which comprise the current government, held 68 seats in the outgoing Knesset, marking a significant drop.

The Arab-led parties — the Joint List and Ra’am — won an all-time high of 19 seats, an all-time high and almost double their current 10 seats. This would be more than enough to tip the anti-Netanyahu bloc into a comfortable majority, if all Zionist bloc members except The Democrats hadn’t ruled out cooperating with Ra’am or the Joint List.

Clinging on: On Netanyahu and the Israel elections

Benjamin Netanyahu was at the centre of Israel’s October 27 elections. For Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister, who oversaw a genocidal war in Gaza following Hamas’s October 7 attack, the election was the biggest test of his political career. For the Opposition, which promised to hold him accountable for the failures of October 7 and end the country’s “forever wars”, the election offered an opportunity to oust him from power. The results, however, sent a mixed message. With 85.6% of the votes counted, Mr. Netanyahu’s right-religious coalition has lost its majority but is still the largest bloc. His Likud party is projected to win 26 seats, while its main rival Yashar, led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, is expected to secure 21. Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionism, the far-right extremist parties in Mr. Netanyahu’s coalition, demonstrated their continued strength, winning 13 seats between them. The dark horse, however, could be the Arab parties — the Joint List is projected to win 12 seats while the United Arab List (Ra’am) could secure seven seats. With neither bloc commanding a majority, the Arab parties could propel the opposition coalition to power. But the big question is whether the anti-Netanyahu coalition is ready to join hands with the Arab parties, which have historically been kept on the margins of Israel’ s power politics.

Mr. Netanyahu’s central promise has been that only he can guarantee Israel’s security. Yet, the October 7 attack took place on his watch and he has refused to take responsibility for the failures that led to it. A wanted man by the International Criminal Court, he has repeated, before and after October 7, that a Palestine state would not be formed while he is in power. His war on Gaza has killed over 70,000 Palestinians, including 20,000 children, and displaced the region’s population. Israel’s brutal occupation machinery has also expanded and tightened its control of the West Bank, while settler terrorists have unleashed violence on Palestinian households. His war on Iran has been a disaster, with global economic consequences. Mr. Netanyahu has sought to portray his wars as bold, necessary moves to protect Israel, while exploiting Israelis’ security concerns for political gain. He may not be voted out immediately, but his failure to secure a majority and the decline in his party’s popularity are significant. The Opposition should take its cue from the results and form a broad coalition with the Arab parties. It should restore accountability in governance, revisit his unchecked militarism and rebuild ties with the world. If Mr. Netanyahu continues to cling to power, it would be bad news for Israel and the region.
