Impeached Paraguay Leader Charged over Shock Implosion of Bank
Paraguayan prosecutors charged ex-president Santiago Pena and took him into custody Saturday over a banking crisis that saw millions of people cut off from their money, sparking major protests. Pena, Paraguay's youngest-ever president at 47, was removed from office by the Senate on Friday, just three days after the collapse of a leading bank with which he had business links. He had offered to resign but lawmakers impeached him instead, stripping him of the immunity he would have enjoyed had he stepped down.

Israel President Taps Eisenkot to Form New Government
Israel's president announced on Saturday he would task Gadi Eisenkot with forming the next government following last week's election, in what Netanyahu's rivals see as a first step to remove the country's longest-serving prime minister. The opposition bloc led by Eisenkot, a former military chief and political newcomer who has tried to appeal to secular and liberal Israelis, has opened the door to a once improbable alliance with ultra-Orthodox Jews, which could give it the numbers to form a coalition, AFP said.
