The ongoing talks between Iran and the P5+1 powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) in Vienna continue to be widely covered. Today marks a revised deadline to conclude a long-term deal over Iran’s nuclear development. However, the Telegraph, Independent and Independent i all report that Iranian negotiators have introduced eleventh hour demands including lifting a UN arms embargo and ending sanctions on ballistic missile development. Writing in the Guardian online, Julian Borger says that Iranian officials are insisting that today’s deadline is immaterial and could be extended.

The Times also highlights comments made yesterday by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that the proposed nuclear deal gets worse by the day. However, the article notes that domestically, the media headlines in Israel focused yesterday not on the nuclear deal, but on the suicide of a senior police commander.

Meanwhile, the Times reports that Jordan says it has arrested a member of Iran’s elite al-Quds force, who entered the country from Syria carrying 45kg of explosives.

Marking the one-year anniversary since Operation Protective Edge, the Guardian includes a feature on the continued anguish among children and families in Gaza one year on. A feature in the Independent profiles Kibbutz Nirim, situated near Israel’s border with Gaza and the continuing trauma and nervousness which exists among residents a year after persistent rocket fire and the threat of Hamas attack tunnels hit the community.

The Telegraph online reports that US President Obama has said that Washington will increase its support for Syrian opposition groups fighting ISIS.

The Financial Times covers an announcement by the Israeli company Waze, which is owned by Google, launching a “community” carpool app in Israel.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv and Israel Hayom is the one-year anniversary of Operation Protective Edge, which was marked yesterday by an official ceremony at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. It was attended by President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, other leading dignitaries and the families of soldiers who died in the fighting. Both Rivlin and Netanyahu emphasised that Israel does not seek conflict, but knows how to defend itself when forced to do so.

Israel Hayom also highlights the announcement by the IDF yesterday that four existing elite commando units will be brought under the unified command of a “commando brigade.” All four units will continue to operate independently but will be trained under one single operational doctrine.

Israel Radio news says that the Knesset last night approved the government’s outline for a 2-year budget. 59 MKs voted in favour of the framework and 54 voted against. The government now has until the end of August to present a budget, which the Knesset must approve by mid-November. Failure to do so would be considered a vote of no confidence in the government, which enjoys only a razor thin majority.

Israel Radio news also reports that another nine Druze citizens from the Golan Heights have been arrested in connection with the attack two weeks ago on an IDF ambulance carrying wounded Syrians from the Israel-Syria border. The attackers believed that one of the patients, who was killed by the mob, was a member of a terror group threatening Druze brethren in Syria. About 20 people have already been arrested in connection with the attack.
