The Telegraph, Times, Guardian and Daily Mirror all cover the stabbing to death of 38-year-old Israeli woman Dafna Meir at the entrance to her home in the West Bank settlement of Otniel. The attack was witnessed by her eldest of six children, who said that Meir fought the attacker, a 16-year-old Palestinian, who eventually fled and was apprehended this morning following a two-day manhunt. The reports also cover a knife attack by a Palestinian man yesterday on a pregnant Israeli woman in the West Bank. The victim and her unborn child were not seriously hurt, the attacker was shot and wounded. These latest attacks come amid a wave of violence which has seen at least 27 Israelis killed since October.

The Guardian, City AM and the online edition of the Financial Times all report that European Union (EU) foreign ministers yesterday approved a resolution which emphasises that EU agreements and activities in pre-1967 Israeli territory will not be applied to areas beyond such as the West Bank. However, the resolution also opposed boycotts against Israel and condemned the recent terror attacks.

The Telegraph online covers comments made yesterday at a security conference by Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin, who warned that ISIS already has a foothold among Israel’s Arab communities. He warned that the terror group’s influence would increase unless gaps with the Arab sector were addressed. Israel’s government recently announced a 15 billion NIS package for infrastructure, education and other services in Arab communities.

There is ongoing coverage of the fallout from the loosening of nuclear sanctions on Iran. The Guardian reports that there is significant Saudi anxiety over Iran’s growing acceptance among the international community. Meanwhile, the Independent says that Iran’s President Rouhani will travel to France and Germany next week, where companies are already lining up deals in Iran. Writing in the Guardian, Paul Mason warns that the nuclear agreement will count for little and there will be “a return to barbarity as usual” in Iran without American support for democracy and human rights in the country.

The Independent reports that Michel Aoun is close to the Lebanese presidency after receiving unexpected support from Samir Gaegea, who has broken from Saudi-backed allies towards those backing Hezbollah.

The Financial Times includes a feature on Israeli companies in the cyber security industry training companies to fend off attacks. The Telegraph and Daily Mail both cover new drugs being developed at Israel’s Weizmann Institute, which are traditionally used to combat cancer and could help fight dementia.

In this morning’s Israeli media, Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom both lead with the funeral yesterday of Dafna Meir, who was killed in a knife attack by a Palestinian at the entrance to her home. The headlines highlight the emotional eulogy delivered by her eldest of six children. Haaretz prominently reports yesterday’s stabbing of a pregnant Israeli woman in the West Bank.

The top story in Haaretz and Maariv is comments made by the US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro at an annual security conference yesterday in Tel Aviv. Shapiro criticised what he said is a failure by Israel to adequately tackle violence by Jewish Israeli extremists, commenting “too much vigilantism goes unchecked; and at times there seem to be two standards of adherence to the rule of law: one for Israelis and another for Palestinians.” Israel Radio news says that representatives from Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office called the allegations untrue. Writing in Yediot Ahronot, Shimon Shiffer says that Shapiro’s comments “were not made unintentionally: he was following the instructions of the people who sent him,” specifically the Obama Administration.

Israel Hayom and Israel Radio news both report that former-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has reached a plea bargain with state prosecutors over the so-called “Talansky Affair” in which he will admit obstruction of justice and receive a six-month prison sentence to be served alongside an existing 18-month sentence after being convicted of bribery in the “Holyland Affair.”
