The Guardian reports on a controversial resolution passed yesterday by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, which Israel says “in effect denies Jewish ties to holy sites” in Jerusalem. The motion was carried by a vote of ten in favour, two against and eight abstentions. The article says that US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton described the motion as “disappointing and wrong”. Yesterday’s UNESCO vote is also briefly covered by the i.

The Telegraph says that in a United Nations’ Security Council vote yesterday, for the first time the United States and Israel both abstained over a motion calling for an end to the US embargo against Cuba. It follows the recent American rapprochement with Cuba.

The Independent reports that yesterday an Israeli court indicted 13 Jewish wedding participants, including the groom, for inciting violence or terrorism. They were caught on camera last December celebrating the murder of a Palestinian child by a right-wing activist earlier last year. The article says that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the footage at the time as “shocking images show the true face of a group that constitutes a danger Israeli society”.

The Times says that Yiftah Curiel, spokesman for Israel’s Embassy in London, described an event hosted by Baroness Tongue at the House of Lords as “hard to believe”. The event was meant to launch a campaign for Britain to apologise on the centenary anniversary of the Balfour Declaration in 1917. However, speakers apparently compared Israel to ISIS, claimed that Zionism has power over parliament and that Jews were to blame for the Holocaust.

The online editions of the Guardian and Telegraph both report that either Syrian or Russian planes carried out an air strike on a village in Idlib Province, which killed at least 26 people, mostly children.

In the Israeli media, yesterday’s vote at the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO is covered prominently by Maariv, Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom. All report that Israel has summoned its UNESCO envoy to Jerusalem for consultations. Israel Radio news covers comments on the resolution by Education Minister and Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett, who said that “history will erase this disgraceful resolution, as it did previous ones”. Meanwhile, both Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom juxtapose the UNESCO vote with an announcement yesterday by the Israel Antiquities Authority that a 2,700-year-old papyrus has been found dating from the ancient kingdom of Judah, which is thought to include the oldest printed reference to Jerusalem.

A major item in Maariv is a shooting incident yesterday on Israel’s border with Lebanon, which saw an Israeli soldier lightly wounded. A moving car fired shots at soldiers from the Golani Brigade, who returned fire and then opened fire once more when the car returned towards the border fence while shooting. Israeli security officials assess that the shooting was the work of a local Lebanese group, but not Hezbollah.

Yediot Ahronot says that the State Comptroller will grant a request by Prime Minister Netanyahu for a further hearing in advance of the publication of a report on the political leadership’s performance in handling the threat of Hamas’ tunnels from Gaza before and during Operation Protective Edge in summer 2014. There has been criticism that the issue was not sufficiently discussed by the security cabinet, but Netanyahu apparently wishes to have another hearing to demonstrate this was not the case. The report says that even if an extra hearing is scheduled, the State Comptroller will not delay publication of his report during the coming weeks.

Yediot Ahronot also covers a new public relations campaign by Israel’s police force to encourage young Arab men and women to enlist.
