The Telegraph, Independent, Guardian, Independent i and the online edition of the Financial Times all report that yesterday’s revised deadline in the nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) expired and the negotiations have been extended by 72 hours.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot, also covered prominently in Haaretz, Maariv and Israel Hayom is the indication given yesterday by the High Court that it will respond to a Yesh Atid petition by ruling that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot also serve as a government minister, arguing that it contravenes one of Israel’s Basic Laws. Netanyahu has taken on responsibility for the foreign ministry, health ministry, communications ministry and regional affairs ministry in the new government and is assumed to be holding these positions as a potential bargaining chip to woo future coalition members. Israel Radio news covers comments by Tourism Minister Yariv Levin on the issue, who said that even Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben Gurion also served as a minister.

Israel Hayom and Maariv both lead with the release yesterday of radio communications during last summer’s Operation Protective Edge by the IDF, which appear to reveal that a senior officer ordered the so-called “Hannibal Protocol” to be implemented.
