Both the Financial Times and Independent i report that indirect talks in Cairo between Israeli and Palestinian delegations to broker a long-term Gaza ceasefire will continue today. However, with the current five-day truce set to expire at midnight, both reports say that the talks are precariously poised and could well end without agreement.

The Telegraph includes a feature on the destruction of a family home in Beit Hanoun by Israeli forces during Operation Protective Edge and suggests that it could constitute a war crime. The Daily Mirror includes a report on a Gaza zoo which was extensively damaged during the Gaza fighting.

Meanwhile, the Times says that another consequence of the Gaza conflict has been a boost to Israeli defence companies, with a number of foreign countries including India and South Korea interested in purchasing the Iron Dome anti-missile system, while the Tamuz anti-tank missile system could also be in demand. Both were deployed with great success during Operation Protective Edge.

The Guardian, Times, Daily Express and Metro all report that a Free Gaza protest at a Tesco’s in Birmingham turned violent after some demonstrators reportedly burst into the store to demand that Israeli products be removed. Fearing a similar incident at a protest in London, staff at Sainsbury’s in Holborn apparently temporarily removed all products from its kosher section, according to the Daily Mail.

The Guardian reports on a wedding which took place in Israel yesterday between a Muslim man and a Jewish woman. Such marriages between the two communities are not common and a fringe group organised a protest outside the celebration in Rishon Le Zion.

In other regional news, the Independent and Times report on comments made by Prime Minister David Cameron, who suggested that the UK may need to ally itself with Iran to combat the “shared threat” of Sunni Jihadist group ISIS, which has overrun territory in Syria and Iraq. In the Telegraph, former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind backs such a move while remaining fully mindful of the nature of the Iranian regime.

The Times and the Independent i both note that the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog met yesterday with Iranian officials. Apparently, Iran’s President Rouhani pledged to cooperate with a probe into suspected military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear programme.

The main item in the Israeli media is the ongoing ceasefire talks in Cairo with the current truce poised to end at midnight. Maariv’s headline sums up the current state of affairs, stating “Arrangement or Escalation.” Israel Hayom says that Israeli leaders have warned of a forceful response if rocket fire resumes, while Makor Rishon says that if there is no agreement, then Israel will still facilitate unilateral relief efforts in Gaza. Haaretz says that there is a divide in the Palestinian delegation in Cairo between the Palestinian Authority which is prepared to accept Egypt’s proposed plan and Hamas which rejects the initiative.

Yediot Ahronot also prominently features a comment by lead columnist Nahum Barnea, who criticises Prime Minister Netanyahu for his perceived meddling in domestic United States politics. As a result, says Barnea, “Netanyahu has become a domestic political enemy of the president and his party,” to the detriment of Israel-US relations.

Another significant story is the controversial wedding between a Jewish woman and Muslim man, which took place yesterday with protests and counter-protests in close proximity. It is covered by Maariv and Haaretz, while Israel Radio news notes that Health Minister Yael German attended the ceremony to congratulate the happy couple and said she hoped it signifies greater tolerance within Israeli society.
