The Telegraph, Metro and  Independent i report that Israel will summon the Swedish Foreign Minister to protest Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Loeven’s decision to recognise a State of Palestine. The Telegraph quotes Israeli Foreign Minister Abigdor Liberman as saying he regrets that Mr Loeven hasn’t “had time to study the issue in depth.”

A piece by former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin in the FT discusses the global struggle against radical Islam. It notes that it will now be harder to criticise countries like Israel that have been battling Islamist movements, and calls on a world strategy that includes both targeted military action and a focus on peace-making to fight groups like ISIS.

The Independent i and ITV note that 1,500 Gazans prayed at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem for Eid al-Adha, after Israel issued them permits. The pieces claim that this is the first time that Israel has agreed to issue such permits since Hamas took power.

Israeli papers report that the IDF exchanged fire on a group of men who crossed the border from Lebanon into Israel in an incident whose full details remain unclear. Israel Hayom devotes its first three pages to coverage of the incident. An analysis piece in Yediot Ahronot suggests that the incident is one of many recent border provocations and could be part of a broader Hezbollah strategy to create deterrence against Israel.

Israeli media including Haaretz, Maariv, Israel Hayom and the Jerusalem Post discuss Sweden’s plans to recognise a State of Palestine. Israel Hayom reports that this recognition will now only come after the completion of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, while the Jerusalem Post suggests it will happen much sooner and Haaretz reports that it is “not imminent” but also not tied to negotiations. Israel Hayom runs an analysis piece which says Israel and Sweden have always had a troubled relationship.

The Jerusalem Post and Israel Hayom both speculate about the succession in Iran given the ailing health of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who recently underwent a short surgery.

Maariv covers a viral post on social media where Israelis in Berlin have been posting their weekly grocery shopping receipts to highlight relatively the high food prices in Israel compared to Western Europe, while a pointed op-ed by Ben Caspit attacks the idea that quality of life is a simple function of supermarket prices.
