The Telegraph and the online edition of the Independent both report that an Israeli border policeman was arrested yesterday by Israeli authorities on suspicion of unlawfully killing a Palestinian at a demonstration in May.

CCTV footage and the results of an autopsy also indicated flaws in the policeman’s account.

The Times, Independent i and Metro all report that local Palestinians have blamed Jewish West Bank settlers for an arson attack at a mosque near Ramallah on Tuesday night.

In the Israeli media, the main story is a public spat between the IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and the head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency Yoram Cohen, after Shin Bet officers publicly claimed on Channel Two that they had warned the IDF of a potential war in advance of the Gaza conflict over the summer. Gantz wrote a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu denying that any such warning had been issued. Israel Radio news reports that this prompted Netanyahu to summon both Gantz and Cohen to demand that they end their public row. The disagreement is the top story in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Israel Hayom, which calls the dispute “the battle after the war.”

In commentary on the spat, both Nahum Barnea in Yediot Ahronot and Yoav Limor in Israel Hayom blame the Shin Bet’s craving for credit for the episode. However, Yossi Yehoshua in Yediot Ahronot calls for Netanyahu to take decisive action and to either dismiss Gantz for lying or Cohen for not properly preparing for war.

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news reports that the Foreign Ministry yesterday confirmed that it will not cooperate with the United Nations Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) investigation into Operation Protective Edge, following the summer conflict.
