The Telegraph, Independent and Independent i all cover a case in Israel’s courts in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife are being sued by a former manager of their official residence, who claims to have been subjected to insulting and humiliating treatment during the twenty months he served in the role. The Prime Minister’s Office called the lawsuit “skewed gossip” and an attempt to besmirch the Netanyahus for “unjustified financial benefit.”

The online edition of the Guardian reports that the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has voted in favour of calling for the international professional body to suspend its Israeli counterpart, the Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA). RIBA contends that IAUA is complicit in settlement construction in the West Bank. However, an IAUA representative called the vote “astonishing” and emphasised that the association includes both Arab members and many who oppose West Bank settlement construction.

The Spectator includes an analysis which suggests that Hamas is not only becoming increasingly regionally isolated, but is also facing significant challenges to its power in the Gaza Strip, which it has ruled since violently overthrowing the Fatah faction in 2007.

A feature in the Guardian online examines the potential benefits of the Red Sea – Dead Sea water conveyor project to Jordan’s water supply, which is under increasing strain. The Red Sea – Dead Sea project is a join water initiative involving Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, which is set to boost water provision for all parties involved.

Meanwhile, the Independent includes an eyewitness account of the Syrian army’s takeover of Daraya and interviews the general leading Assad’s forces in the region, who claimed that countries including Israel are supplying opposition groups with weapons.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom is the discovery yesterday by the IDF of a tunnel traversing beneath the Gaza border into Israel. Hamas later admitted that it was responsible for the tunnel but said that it was an offshoot of a tunnel already in existence which had collapsed due to recent extreme weather, bringing it to the attention of Israeli forces. Several Hamas tunnels stretching into Israel have been uncovered during the past eighteen months, which Hamas has said in the past are intended to enable the kidnapping of Israelis.

The latest developments in the investigation of the ‘Harpaz Affair’ continue to make headlines. Yediot Ahronot and Sof Hashavua report that former IDF spokesman Avi Benayahu and former aide to the Chief of Staff, Erez Weiner have been released to house arrest following their arrest and interrogation. Maariv suggests that the police believe there is plenty of evidence against them over the obstruction of justice and knowingly destroying evidence. The case centres on a document forged by Lt.Col. Boaz Harpaz, first explosed in 2010, which exacerbated serious tensions between then Defence Minister Ehud Barak and then Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi. Accusations have since been traded between both sides over responsibility for the episode.

Meanwhile, both Maariv-NRG and Israel Radio news cover comments made by Jewish Home MK Shuli Mualem during a closed political event. She apparently said that Jewish Home would leave the coalition if Israel frees the fourth and final batch of Palestinian prisoners slated for release on 29 March, as part of an agreement by Israel to pave the way for the resumption of peace talks in July. Israel Radio news says that Jewish Home officials denied Mualem’s claim and stressed that she was expressing solely her own views.
