The FT and the i both report on Israel’s removal of the security measures around the Temple Mount and the lifting of the boycott on prayers at the site by the Waqf.

The Telegraph, Guardian, i and Metro report on the violence between protesters and police that continued to take place around the Temple Mount yesterday, despite the security climb down and the lifting of the boycott. Palestinian Authority (PA) officials reported that 46 Palestinians were injured.

The Times reports on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s “vow” to shut down Al-Jazeera in Israel. The paper speculates that this is part of a effort by the PM to shore up his far-right credentials after the reputational damage he suffered as a result of the security climb down at the Temple Mount.

All the papers in the Israeli media express concern over the ongoing violence, despite Israel dismantling of the security measures that had been put in place following the 14 July terror attack. Yediot Ahronot describes the security forces being on “peak state of alert” while Maariv includes warning from the police that “this is just the beginning”.

Haaretz and Yediot Ahronot both reveal that Netanyahu suggested to American officials that Israeli-Arab communities could be moved under Palestinian control as part of a final status agreement. In exchange, Israel would annex some West Bank settlements.

Israel Hayom expresses outrage at the “funeral of hate,” whereby thousands of people participated in the funeral in Umm el-Fahm for the terrorists that killed the policemen two weeks ago. Some of the chanting encouraged future attacks.

Yediot Ahronot leads its coverage with the previous five heads of the Shin Bet protesting recent comments by members of the government that undermine the organisation.  This follows comments by coalition chairman David Bitan from Likud that accused the organisation of cowardice in their handling of the Temple Mount crisis.

Yediot Ahronot reports on the investigation of the incident in Jordan, with the security guard’s version of events.  According to the initial investigation, it appears the security guard behaved properly under the circumstances after the 17-year-old Jordanian tried to stab him with a screwdriver. The security guard was stabbed three times, twice in the back and once in the chest. The article reports that according to the initial investigation, the Jordanian doctor and apartment owner Bashar Al-Hamarna, was killed accidently. The State of Israel apologised to the Jordanians for his death and undertook to pay the family financial compensation.

Haaretz cites statements made by the Jordanian King that criticises Netanyahu for exploiting the crisis for political gain and demanding the guard stand trial. Yesterday the king visited the father of the young man that attacked the security guard and told him “your son is my son and I will not abandon him”.

Yediot Ahronot follows the dire situation in Gaza where for the first time in 12 years the Israel Water Authority has deployed a pipeline for the absorption of sewage from the neighbourhoods of northern Gaza, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun. Israel invested NIS 40m in the project.
