Yesterday’s dual stabbings in Tel Aviv and the West Bank, in which two Israelis were killed by Palestinian assailants are covered by the Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Independent, Evening Standard, Independent i, Daily Mail, Metro and Daily Express. An off-duty soldier was stabbed and killed at a Tel Aviv train station while later in the day, a man stabbed and killed a woman in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for at least one of the attacks, which came after weeks of heightened tension and unrest in Jerusalem and weekend demonstrations in northern and central Arab communities. The Independent asks whether a new Intifada has begun.

In the Financial Times, David Gardner pens a feature on shifting European attitudes towards Israel. He says that European leaders are increasingly losing patience with Israel due to a perceived reluctance to conclude a peace deal with the Palestinians. Gardner warns that European restrictions on West Bank goods could eventually evolve into a more general boycott.

The Guardian online includes a feature on the growing number of Israelis moving to Berlin. It examines the complex relationship between the two countries, the high cost of living in Israel and contemporary European anti-Semitism.

The Evening Standard reports that Israel’s Chief Scientist Avi Hasson is currently visiting the UK and said that there is strong Israeli enthusiasm to work more closely with London’s tech industry. Hasson pointed out that UK-Israel trade is already at record levels, currently totalling £2.5billion.

The Independent online covers a tweet yesterday from the official Twitter account of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, which detailed a 9-point “plan” for the “extermination of Israel”.

The Times says that an Iranian may have been killed alongside four Syrian nuclear scientists, in what appears to have been a targeted hit on their convoy near Damascus. Also in Syria, the Guardian says that the President of the Western-backed opposition umbrella Syrian National Coalition has complained that US-led airstrikes against ISIS are undermining support for the non-Islamist opposition against President Assad.

The online editions of the Guardian, Financial Times, Telegraph and Times all report that the leading Islamist terror group in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula which borders Israel, has pledged allegiance to ISIS. Ansar Bayit al-Maqdis has primarily targeted Egyptian security forces but has also on occasion launched attacks against Israel.

Yesterday’s stabbings in Tel Aviv and Gush Etzion dominate this morning’s headlines in the Israeli media. It is the top story in Yediot Ahronot, which highlights comments made by the girlfriend of the soldier murdered yesterday. It is also the main item in Maariv, Haaretz and Israel Hayom which leads with the headline “terrorism without boundaries.” Meanwhile, there is also plenty of commentary surrounding yesterday’s events and the increasing unrest. In Yediot Ahronot, Alex Fishman warns of a growing feeling of inevitable terror, similar to the emotions of the Second Intifada. He also argues the need for more effective leadership, with the growing impression that the country is “losing control.” In Maariv, Ben Caspit also criticises the country’s leadership and says that there is increasing public dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel Radio news reports that both the US State Department and incoming European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini condemned yesterday’s deadly attacks.

In addition, Israel Radio news also covers a first reading of the controversial 2015 state budget, which was yesterday approved in the Knesset by a vote of 58 in favour and 46 against.
