The Guardian online says Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces opposition from right-wing coalition partners and members of his own Likud Party. The disagreement was caused by a suggestion floated by Netanyahu’s office; that Israeli settlers in the West Bank could be given the option of remaining in their current homes and living under Palestinian rule in the event of a peace deal. The idea was rejected outright by Palestinian Authority (PA) officials too. The Independent i and Independent online say Netanyahu is also facing criticism of a different kind, having revealed that his son Yair is dating a non-Jewish Norwegian girl. Leaders of Israel’s religious-based political parties in particular have expressed disappointment over the apparent relationship.

The Financial Times reports that Israel’s settler movement is waging a media campaign against concessions as part of a potential peace agreement, which they say will threaten Israel’s security. The report says that pro-peace activists are also stepping up their activities as both sides look to capture the imagination of Israeli centrists. The Independent and Independent i say that the actress Scarlett Johansson has defended her decision to star in a SodaStream advert despite the objections of Oxfam, of which she is an ambassador. SodaStream has a factory in the West Bank, but Johansson said the company is “building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine, supporting neighbours working alongside each other, receiving equal pay, equal benefits and equal rights.”

Both the Guardian and the Times say that a huge delegation of Israeli parliamentarians, half the legislature, visited Auschwitz yesterday to mark International Holocaust Memorial Day.

The Telegraph says that Israel’s Air Force is suspected of having carried out a raid on a Syrian military base near Latakia, targeting a stock of Russian-made missiles. Locals reported explosions and although there has been no official comment from Israeli or Syrian officials, the report suggests the missiles were to be transferred to Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting Israeli action.

The Telegraph online reports that the Geneva II talks between Syrian government and opposition representatives have broken down over a potential transitional government and the role of President Assad. The Times online says the talks will continue today. However, it also reports, as does the Guardian online, that women and children have still not been allowed safe passage from Homs and relief for the besieged city has not been secured, as was thought to have been agreed over the weekend.

The online editions of the Guardian, Times, Telegraph and Financial Times all report that the Egyptian army governing council has nominated de facto ruler General Al-Sisi as Presidential candidate.

In the Israeli media, the top story is the apparent disquiet between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Economy Minister and Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett, over suggestions from Netanyahu’s office that Israeli West Bank settlers could be allowed to live under Palestinian rule. Bennett accused Netanyahu of losing his “moral compass” but Israel Hayom says Netanyahu is “furious” at Bennett’s comments. Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Makor Rishon suggest that Netanyahu will reprimand Bennett over his reaction. Writing in Maariv, Ben-Dror Yemini says there is “something…even racist” about the idea of a Palestinian state excluding Jews. Israel Radio news reports that Tzipi Livni, Israel’s chief peace negotiator commented last night that the goal of peace talks is not to unmask Palestinian attitudes, as indicated by Netanyahu’s office, but to create peace.

Yediot Ahronot reports this morning on the alleged Israeli air strike at the Syrian port of Latakia, apparently targeting Russian-made missiles. Alex Fishman writes that Israel’s ability “to undertake a quiet surgical action of this kind is no longer a secret.”

Another prominent story is the large Knesset delegation which visited Auschwitz yesterday to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The headline in Israel Hayom is “Memory and Pride” while the story is also highlighted in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Makor Rishon.
