The Times reports that the Palestinian Authority (PA) foreign minister has asked the Arab League for support in filing a law suit against the UK government for publishing the Balfour Declaration a century ago. The seminal document enshrined British support for a Jewish national home in the land of Israel. It is unclear as to where the PA might attempt to file such a suit or whether they would claim damages.

Another Times article says that Israel’s government is supporting legislation which would roll back the requirement of ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools to teach core secular subjects such as English and maths, as a condition of public funding. The new law is spearheaded by the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism Party and is in line with the coalition agreement which brought them into the government last year. If passed, the law will impact around 40,000 pupils. The article notes that last year, more than 50 ultra-Orthodox men attempted to sue the state for failing to provide an adequate modern education.

The Guardian reports that in overnight raids, Israel’s police arrested 56 members of the La Familia hooligan group connected with the Beitar Jerusalem football club. La Familia members often publicise racist views and have been involved in violent incidents.

The Telegraph says that a 76-year-old British grandfather with dual Iranian citizenship, who has been jailed in Iran’s notorious Elvin prison for more than five years, could be released next week. The Guardian online says that in a similar case, the family of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a mother who was stopped from leaving Iran several months ago with her infant daughter following a family visit, has written a letter to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. They are concerned that her health is deteriorating, especially after several weeks in solitary confinement.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot and Maariv is the continuing calls by families of soldiers killed in Operation Protective Edge for a state commission of inquiry into the government’s decision-making process before and during the conflict in 2014. At a ceremony marking the second anniversary of the conflict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was heckled by family members. Israel Hayom highlights Netanyahu’s assertion that the government was fully prepared, but in Yediot Ahronot, Shimon Shiffer asks: “If Operation Protective Edge was a success story, as Netanyahu described in his speech… yesterday, then what is he afraid of?  What might the commission of inquiry reveal if that is the case?”

A major item in Maariv and Israel Hayom is the arrests of La Familia members and activists. Maariv says that the group is “bleeding” from the arrests. Israel Radio reports that 17 of those arrested have had their detention extended by a court in Haifa and that among them, eight are suspected of attempting to murder a fan of rival club Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Israel Radio news also reports that a Hamas activist, 29-year-old Mohammed al-Faqih was killed in exchanges of gunfire overnight as he resisted arrest in a village close to the West Bank city of Hebron. Al-Faqih was wanted for carrying out the murder of Rabbi Michael Mark and injuring other family members earlier this month in the same area, after gun shots were fired at the car he was driving.
