The Times reports that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin told Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that he is prepared to host a meeting between Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas. The article says that Netanyahu’s office indicated that he is open to such an invitation.

The Guardian online says that the International Federation of Journalists has condemned the decision of an Israeli court to hand Palestinian journalist Omar Nazzal a three-month extension to his detention, although he is yet to stand trial. Nazzal is being held under the convention of administrative detention, which is usually applied by Israeli authorities in cases related to terror. The article notes that Nazzal has previous ties with the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and has headed Islamic Jihad’s television station “Palestine Today”.

The Telegraph says that newly declassified Foreign Office documents detail that British diplomats believe Israel sold Argentina weaponry at the height of the Falklands War. They apparently included Skyhawk jets which were used to attack British warships.

Another item in the Guardian online notes that supporters of Scottish football club Celtic were warned yesterday by Israeli police not to fly the Palestinian flag during last night’s match against Israeli champions Hapoel Beer Sheva, which took place in southern Israel. Although it was made clear that flying a Palestinian flag is not illegal, it would still be considered unnecessarily provocative. Europe’s governing body UEFA has begun disciplinary proceedings after Celtic fans displayed Palestinian flags at the first match between the two sides in Glasgow last week.

Writing in the Telegraph, Prince Hassan of Jordan urges Muslims and Jews to champion tolerance together in order to combat ISIS-inspired hatred throughout the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the Times online says that Turkey has launched an artillery assault against ISIS forces in Syria on the other side of the border between the two countries. It follows indications from Turkey’s new Prime Minister Binali Yildirim that Turkey will become more directly involved in combatting ISIS.

In the Israeli media, Maariv reports that despite the sharp exchanges between Israel and Turkey this week over Israel’s response to a Gaza rocket fired at Sderot, the two countries are expected to exchange ambassadors in the coming days, signalling the return of full diplomatic relations. Last weekend, Turkey’s parliament approved a reconciliation agreement with Israel, which ended a six-year diplomatic freeze between the countries.

Both Maariv and Israel Hayom highlight an IDF operation overnight Tuesday, in which seven weapons factories in the West Bank were uncovered and closed down. Dozens of weapons were seized and those thought to own and operate the facilities were arrested. In particular, the warehouses were used to manufacture relatively low-cost firearms, which have become more widely used in the past few months by individual Palestinian assailants launching attacks against Israelis.

Haaretz says that dozens of right-wing activists have been handed restraining orders preventing them from entering the West Bank, over fears that they may carry out hate crimes.

Israel Radio and Maariv report on comments attributed to Prime Minister Netanyahu in a recent meeting with ultra-Orthodox media editors and correspondents. He apparently hit back at allegations last week by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, that Netanyahu’s flawed decision-making had harmed Israel’s security interests. Israel Radio news says that Netanyahu referred to Barak as the country’s least successful prime minister, adding: “‎If he has something to say, he should go to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee and give a full version of the story. Barak can wag his tail and prepare his comeback.”
