The Daily Mail online reports that Israeli and Turkish officials met yesterday in the latest talks to agree a reconciliation deal and restore ties between the two countries, after a six-year hiatus. Although the latest discussions were confirmed, no agreement has yet been reached. Remaining sticking points are thought to include ending Hamas’s presence in Turkey and Turkey’s demand for access to the Gaza Strip.

The Daily Mail online also reports that Israel’s Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan has warned that “the government will not be able to last much longer.” The current coalition enjoys a razor-thin majority of just one seat. Erdan said that upcoming talks on the annual budget will prove to be especially difficult for the coalition to reach agreement.

Another Daily Mail online piece says that Israeli workers have begun constructing a delayed section of the West Bank security barrier near the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, south of Bethlehem. Construction of the barrier was started in 2002 and there was a rapid reduction in the number of suicide bombings. This particular section of the barrier was finally approved by an Israeli court last year after a nine-year legal battle.

The Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail, Daily Express and Evening Standard all report that Jonathan Arkush, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews has accused Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn of belittling accusations of anti-Semitism in the party. In particular, Arkush took issue with Corbyn’s defence of his brother’s explanation that “Zionists don’t cope” with support for Palestinians, as a defence against complaints of anti-Semitism from Labour MP Louise Ellman. An editorial in the Times also says that anti-Semitism in the Labour Party is being worryingly downplayed, commenting that “anti-Semites … regard the party as a vehicle for the cause.” It points out that many of the party’s past leaders have been strong supporters of Israel and that Labour is historically a supporter of the two-state solution.

Meanwhile, in Syria, the Independent online says that ISIS has lost its main supply route with Turkey, having been defeated at al-Rai by rebels including the Western-backed Free Syrian Army.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Israel Hayom, also covered prominently in Maariv, is condemnation of comments made yesterday by Zionist Union MK Zouheir Bahloul. He said that Palestinians who attack and kill Israeli soldiers are murderers, but not terrorists. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the comments “shameful” and Bahloul’s party leader Isaac Herzog and several fellow Zionist Union MKs also denounced his comments and asked him to withdraw them.

Both Maariv and Haaretz report that advanced talks took place between Zionist Union and Netanyahu’s Likud Party to form a unity government. Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon claimed this week that an agreement was close, but that a corruption investigation into Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog had stopped the process in its tracks. Maariv claims that the Zionist Union were set to receive seven ministerial portfolios, while Haaretz says that Netanyahu and Herzog had already drafted a coalition agreement.

Israel Hayom reports the latest in the case of the soldier who controversially shot dead a wounded Palestinian terrorist in Hebron, who had stabbed two Israeli soldiers. The accused has had his remand in open detention at a military base extended and charges are expected to be formally brought next week. The soldier met with his battalion commander yesterday, who apparently said “Your action was very severe, but you’re still my soldier.”

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news says that Israeli and Turkish officials are close to reaching a reconciliation agreement to normalize ties between the two countries and expect to finalise a deal at their next meeting.
