Editor's Note

We are pleased to present our 15th edition. This edition's theme is New Leadership as we examine the effects of leadership turnover at Twitter, the American midterms, and the Israeli elections. We have one article that goes into the costs and concerns with the direction that Musk is taking the social media company. We have two articles analyzing the American midterms from different political perspectives and one article that goes over how Benjamin Netanyahu seems poised to return to power with a new more right wing coalition. Whether this fresh blood of political leadership will produce the desired changes in their respective societies or whether these changes they are seeking to bring will produce division, resentment, and failure is to be seen.
