The Independent reports that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit Moscow next week for talks with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin over the Kremlin’s support for Syria’s President Assad and in particular the planned delivery of a Russian anti-missile system which Israel fears could end up in the hands of Hezbollah.

The online editions of the Guardian and Telegraph both say that Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has suggested that Russia and the United States enter talks over the situation in Syria and the military steps that both countries are taking to influence the situation. The Guardian online suggests that Presidents Obama and Putin could meet on the side-lines of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

The Guardian online also reports that the Commander of US Central Command has told a US Senate committee that American forces have trained just four or five Syrian combatants to fight ISIS, after a planned training scheme had envisaged equipping several hundred fighters.

The Financial Times online covers Prime Minister Netanyahu’s vow to increase the fight against Palestinians who attack Israelis with rocks, firecrackers and other dangerous projectiles. A forum of ministers and security officials announced new measures following violence over the past week which saw an Israeli man die after his car was pelted with rocks in Jerusalem.

The Independent and Independent i report that a Palestinian accused of being an Islamic Jihad terror activist has resumed his hunger strike after being re-arrested under administrative detention. Mohammed Allan recently ended a high-profile 65-day hunger strike when Israel agreed to temporarily cancel the administrative detention order until his health improved. The order, which permits Israeli authorities to detain Allan without charge due to the danger he poses, is set to expire in early November.

The Guardian online says the White House confirmed yesterday that Prime Minister Netanyahu will meet President Obama in Washington on 9 November. The two leaders are thought to endure a decidedly frosty relationship, but will discuss regional issues including ISIS and the Iranian nuclear threat.

In Iran, the online editions of the Telegraph and Independent both report that a Tehran court has fined two women for not wearing religious headscarves properly. All women in Iran, including foreigners, are legally required to cover their heads in public.

In the Israeli media, the fallout from this week’s violence at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the top story in Maariv, Haaretz and Israel Hayom. All lead with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s apparent determination to crack down on rock-throwing and similar attacks with new measures, such as minimum sentences and a change in the rules of engagement. All three dailies say that Netanyahu has asked Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein about the possibility of authorizing the use of live sniper fire in Jerusalem to prevent such attacks.

Haaretz and Israel Hayom both prominently cover Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to Moscow. Haaretz says that he will discuss with President Putin how to avoid any unintended future clash between Israeli and Russian forces in Syria. It is thought that Israel has carried out a number of air raids over Syria since the civil war began, to prevent arms transfers to Hezbollah. Writing in Yediot Ahronot, Itamar Eichner says that preventing Russian arms falling into Hezbollah’s hands will be high on Netanyahu’s agenda in Moscow.

Meanwhile, both Maariv and Israel Hayom cover yesterday’s Champions League football, which saw Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv lose 4-0 to English champions Chelsea in London. It was Maccabi’s first appearance in the competition since 2004.
