The Guardian online reports that US Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is set to visit Israel this week. His campaign staff said that Huckabee is travelling to Israel both to fundraise and to continue sending a message of opposition to the nuclear deal with Iran. Huckabee has been a prominent and vocal critic of the nuclear agreement.

The Independent and Independent i both include a feature on the first ever female Islamic religious official to be appointed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), who was recently handed the authority to conduct weddings in the Palestinian areas of the West Bank.

The Times online includes a feature on the first holiday resort to open its doors in the Gaza Strip. Constructed by a Jordanian company, a worker at the resort said that demand for bookings is “beyond our imagination.” Meanwhile, the Independent online says that a doctor from Gaza’s Shifa Hospital is developing a gold standard stethoscope using a 3D printer, which will be available for just 30 cents.

The online editions of the Guardian, Times, Telegraph and Independent all report that Syrian government warplanes launched strikes on a Damascus suburb which killed at least 82 people and wounded in excess of 200. It is described as the biggest single loss of civilian life to an air strike since the Syrian Civil War began. Meanwhile, the Independent online says that 22 US-led airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq took place over the weekend.

The Times reports that John Mann MP has said that he received anti-Semitic abuse from supporters of Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn, including those referring to him as a “Zionist scumbag.”

A separate report in the Times documents claims that a senior Amnesty International official in Britain has links with both the Muslim Brotherhood and a group suspected by Israel of funding Hamas.

Meanwhile, the Times also includes an eyewitness account of last week’s “Tel Aviv sur Seine” festival in Paris, which saw a recreation of Tel Aviv beach and associated cultural activities on the bank of the River Seine. It attracted virulent protests both for and against the event. The article says that the controversy was further “proof … for many Jews that they are not welcome in France.”

In the Israeli media, the top story in Israel Hayom, which is also reported prominently in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv and Haaretz is the disturbances which took place yesterday outside an Ashkelon hospital, where an Islamic Jihad member has been hospitalized following at least 60 days on hunger strike following his administrative detention. Arab Israeli protestors called on the authorities to release Mohammed Allan from detention due to his deteriorating condition. However, Jewish Israeli counter-demonstrators objected to the show of support for a terror suspect. Police made several arrests on both sides of yesterday’s demonstration and were forced to use water cannons as the protest spread to the city’s major road junction.

The top story in Maariv is an IDF drill carried out last week to prepare for the possibility of a strike inside Syria, to prevent an incursion into Israeli territory. An Israeli army officer yesterday told reporters that Islamists backed by Iran are gathering near the border and are planning possible multi-pronged attacks. However, Yossi Melman in Maariv plays down the prospect of an imminent operation, saying “there is no change in the situation on the Golan Heights or on the Israel-Lebanon border. The quiet is being maintained and it can be said with certainty there is not much new in the north.”

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news and Israel Hayom both report that Interior Minister Gilad Erdan has rejected the preliminary report of a committee investigating the preparations of the Jerusalem Police before the city’s recent gay pride parade and its actions during the event. Six people were stabbed at the parade by an ultra-Orthodox extremist and one eventually died from her wounds. Erdan has asked the committee to deepen its investigation.
