The Financial Times, Telegraph, Times and Independent all report that Israel’s parliament passed a new law on Monday authorising Israeli immigration officials to refuse entry to foreign nationals who issue a “public call” to boycott either the country or Israeli West Bank settlements.

The Telegraph suggests that Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn could be refused entry to Israel in light of his support for a boycott of West Bank settlements. The new legislation is “likely to be challenged in the Israeli court system”.

The Times reports that evidence from economists indicates that the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign has caused only “token damage to the Israeli economy”.

Commenting on the new law in the Times, Melanie Phillips says that while “Israel should be prepared to accept criticism just like any other country… Israel is not treated like any other country”. She suggests that “[boycott] leaders and many activists have repeatedly stated that their real aim is to destroy Israel altogether” and that “no country should be expected to provide hospitality to those who are actively working for its extermination”.

The Telegraph online reports that the heads of the Russian, US and Turkish armed forces have met in southern Turkey, in order to “iron out tensions between rival factions” fighting ISIS.

In the Israeli media, the ongoing criminal investigations involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continue to make the headlines. Yediot Ahronot and Maariv both report that in response to allegations that he received expensive illicit gifts from wealthy businessmen, Netanyahu apparently told investigators that due to ongoing nasal problems, he could not possibly have smoked the quantity of cigars he is alleged to have received. Haaretz says that Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan recruited Australian billionaire James Packer to share the burden of financing gifts for Netanyahu and his family.

In Maariv, Ben Caspit reports that a classified Knesset sub-committee has been established to investigate the “submarine affair” and allegations that the purchase of submarines from a German steel company was influenced by the business interests of Netanyahu’s lawyer. An anonymous committee member is quoted saying: “It’s become evident that there was no security cabinet decision about this issue and the entire thing smells really bad.”

Israel Hayom and Israel Radio both cover condemnation of comments made by Rabbi Yigal Levinstein, the principal of a pre-military religious academy. Rabbi Levinstein made disparaging comments against women being drafted into the IDF, especially in combat roles. Israel Radio news quotes Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman saying Levinstein’s comments were offensive not only to women in Israel, but to the State of Israel’s basic values.
