The Daily Mirror includes a feature on the potential impact on US foreign policy if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is elected. The article says that “Israel has kept tight-lipped” during the course of the campaign, but suggests that Israel’s Prime Minister “Netanyahu would prefer a critical [Democratic candidate Hillary] Clinton to an unpredictable Trump”.

A feature in the Guardian discusses attempts by governments across the world to influence debate on social media.

In the Israeli media, the top stories in Yediot Ahronot, Israel Hayom, Haaretz and Maariv are all related to tomorrow’s US elections. Yediot Ahronot’s senior commentator Nahum Barnea referred to the campaign as a “circus”.

Both Maariv and Haaretz report yesterday’s events in Amona which saw the residents of the outpost and the Palestinians who object to their presence, both opposed the government’s request for a seven-month extension on a High Court ruling to dismantle Amona by 25 December. The residents object on the grounds that they do not wish to be re-located, which is the source of the government’s extension request. The Palestinians suspect that it is a delaying tactic.

Haaretz and YNet both report comments made by Pierre Vimont, France’s special envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, who told a Tel Aviv conference yesterday that Paris still intends to convene a peace conference by the end of the year.

Israel opposes the French plan, fearing it will allow the Palestinians to avoid direct talks.

Israel Hayom and Haaretz report the publication yesterday of a list of 28 candidates for four slots on the Supreme Court, which will become vacant in the next year.

The list of candidates published yesterday was agreed by Naor and Shaked.

The Times of Israel reports that Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales visited the Gaza Strip yesterday.
