The Telegraph says that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and former Prime Minister David Cameron “repaired their friendship” last week over whiskey at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel, prior to attending Friday’s funeral of Israel’s former President Shimon Peres. The report says that their relationship “had become strained” over the European Union referendum.

Another report in the Telegraph says that the world’s oldest man, Yisrael Kristal, a 113-year-old Holocaust survivor who lives in Israel, recently celebrated his bar mitzvah. He missed the opportunity to celebrate the milestone as a 13-year-old due to the First World War.

The Times reports that the Palestinian Authority (PA) has delayed Palestinian municipal elections for up to four months. The ballot was scheduled to be held this week, but the Palestinian High Court ruled that the election could only take place in the West Bank and not the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, prompting the delay. The report says that no Palestinian election, which include candidates from both Hamas and the Fatah faction of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, has been held since 2006.

The Guardian online says that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has issued a 19-page report in which he remains “deeply troubled” by Iran’s human rights record. Ban lists ongoing accounts of “executions, floggings, arbitrary arrests and detentions, unfair trials, denial of access to medical care and possible torture and ill-treatment”.

Meanwhile, the Metro reports that the head of Iran’s space agency has said that he wants to work alongside US space agency NASA. He is quoted saying: “When you are in orbit, there is no country and race.”

The Independent reports that Russia is to send the advanced S-300 anti-missile system to defend its naval base in Tartus, Syria. It is Russia’s only naval base on the Mediterranean. The online edition of the Telegraph and the Independent also report that an allied air strike near Idlib in Syria has killed a senior Islamist leader who headed an al-Qaeda affiliate.

In the Israeli media, both Maariv and Haaretz lead with reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party and opposition leader Isaac Herzog’s Zionist Union have made progress in talks to bring the Zionist Union into the government. Both Herzog and the Likud Party have denied the reports, which indicate that Zionist Union has been offered eight ministerial portfolios, including the foreign, economy and culture ministries.

The story is also a major item in Israel Hayom and Yediot Ahronot, which says that joining the coalition would result in a split in the Zionist Union faction. Speaking to Israel Radio news, Zionist Union MK Nachman Shai says he has the impression that some of his colleagues are in favour of joining the government, while others are not.

In Yediot Ahronot, Jewish Home’s Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked outlines her vision for deepening Israel’s Jewish and democratic identities. She says: “These identities do not contradict each other at all.  On the contrary, I believe that they strengthen one another.  I believe that we will become a more democratic state as we become a more Jewish state, and that we will become a more Jewish state as we become a more democratic state.”

Meanwhile, both Haaretz and Israel Radio news prominently report that well-known businessman Ronald Lauder was detained and questioned by Israeli police on arrival in Israel last week for the funeral of Shimon Peres. He was reportedly questioned in connection with an investigation focusing on Prime Minister Netanyahu. Lauder is thought to have previously funded trips for Netanyahu and his family overseas. He apparently agreed to further questioning at a later date.
