The Guardian reports that Israeli authorities decided to add the name of murdered Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khadir to a wall listing victims of terror at the country’s Mount Herzl national cemetery. Abu Khadir was abducted, burned and killed by Jewish Israeli extremists following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers. Israel’s authorities classify Abu Khadir’s death as a terror attack, handing his family requisite financial benefits. The announcement that his name would be added to the wall of terror victims came ahead of Remembrance Day which falls today. However, Abu Khadir’s family have asked that his name be removed, as they are not Israeli citizens.

The Times covers controversy over the apparent replacement of carpets in the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The site is administered by Muslim religious authorities, who some Israelis have long claimed carry out unauthorised building work which irreparably damages sensitive artefacts at the site where the ancient Jewish Temple once stood. Some Israeli leaders believe that the carpet replacement is in fact a wider renovation which has harmed priceless antiquities, pointing to large diggers at the site.

The Times also reports that 11 Palestinian Authority (PA) ministers have left the Gaza Strip after they claimed Hamas had effectively placed them under house arrest. The ministers were sent to help resolve a pay dispute for Gazan civil servants, but claim to have been unacceptably hindered in their work.

The Telegraph covers claims by an Israeli NGO that three Eritrean Christians who were recently murdered by ISIS had recently left Israel for a third country under a government scheme which encourages illegal African migrants to leave.

The Guardian online says that US President Barack Obama has warned Iran not to make further arms deliveries to Houthi rebels in Yemen while at the same time insisting that American forces can reach Iranian nuclear targets if necessary.

The Independent i and the online editions of the Guardian, Times and Financial Times all report that former-Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, ousted in 2013 by his successor President al-Sisi, has been sentenced to 20 years imprisonment over incitement to murder demonstrators against his rule in 2012. Morsi’s trial is a key component of al-Sisi’s crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, which Morsi heads.

The Financial Times online covers a survey which indicates a marked decline in the number of young people in the Arab world who retain faith in democracy.

The Israeli media is almost solely dominated by today’s Remembrance Day commemorations and reflections ahead of tomorrow’s Independence Day celebrations. Yediot Ahronot’s front page headline is simply “With tears,” while Maariv proclaims “In salute,” and Israel Hayom’s primary headline looks ahead, stating “From tears to festivities.” Haaretz highlights comments made by President Reuven Rivlin at yesterday’s ceremony at the Western Wall, where he emphasised that the pain of loss impacts all Israelis.

As Israel marks this commemorative week there is plenty of commentary on the state of the country. In Israel Hayom, Dan Margalit says that “We have cause to be proud” of all Israel has achieved. In an emotive piece in Maariv, Ben Caspit discusses a dialogue he is involved in with an ultra-Orthodox man who feels deeply shamed by not having served in the IDF. Caspit addresses him saying “At the end of the day, we are brothers— tribes, groups, factions, enemies, but we are all here together, for better or worse, on this land. We do not have any other country.”

In other news, Maariv reports that Likud and Kulanu are on the verge of a coalition agreement, which it suggests will be announced early next week. Apparently, Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon will become Finance Minister while his party will also be responsible for the Housing Ministry, Environment Ministry and the chairmanship of a Knesset committee.
