Prime Minister David Cameron has announced plans for new powers against British ISIS fighters, including the ability to ban them from returning to the UK. The Times, Telegraph and Guardian report that Mr Cameron announced the plans in a speech to the Australian Parliament yesterday. The measure was previously criticised by former Attorney-General Dominic Grieve, who claimed it would make the suspects ‘stateless’.

The Independent, Times and FT cover ISIS’ plans to mint its own coins for use in Syria and Iraq. A preliminary design for a silver coin is a picture of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Most newspapers also report an audio-tape supposedly from ISIS leader Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi. If genuine, the tape would prove that he was not killed in an airstrike as some had claimed. The Times quoted al-Baghdadi as threatening the West with ‘volcanoes of jihad’. The Telegraph and Independent report on an alliance between ISIS and the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra. The two groups have been fighting each other inside Syria but have now reportedly reached an agreement.

The i reports on last night’s meeting in Jordan between King Abdullah II, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Benjamin Netanyahu. Although the copy appears to have been filed before the meeting took place, it reports that the meeting would focus on “ways to restore calm and de-escalate tensions in Jerusalem”.

In a BBC interview, Mohammed Fneish, a Hezbollah member and minister in the Lebanese Government, blamed ‘intervention’ by the West for prolonging the conflict in Syria. He said the civil war would be quickly over if the West and Arab states withdrew all backing for the rebels. He also said that Hezbollah would work with Western countries in Syria against ISIS, presumably in support of the Assad regime.

Israeli media held their front pages to cover yesterday’s meeting between John Kerry, Benjamin Netanyahu and King Abdullah. Yisrael Hayom reports that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was kept updated on the phone. Mr Kerry also met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas separately. Haaretz quotes Mr Kerry saying steps were agreed to promote calm, including the lifting of some restrictions on the Temple Mount. The Jerusalem Post notes that, while future terror attacks are likely, overall the violence and civil unrest is beginning to die down.

Haaretz report that the State Comptroller will investigate the tensions between the IDF and the General Security Service (the Shin Bet). Yesterday, the Shin Bet officially denied earlier that it had warned the IDF of an impending Gaza war at the beginning of the year. A commentary piece by Alex Fishman in Yediot Ahronot notes that tensions between the two organisations are partly as a result of the general, strategic warnings given by the Shin Bet, versus the tactical responses planned by the IDF.
