The Times reports that Israel has begun the construction of a huge barrier along the border of the Gaza Strip, which is designed to eliminate the threat of cross-border attacks, especially those from underground tunnels. The story says that the Israeli government’s handling of the tunnels, both before and during Operation Protective Edge two years ago, is expected to be a major part of an upcoming State Comptroller report into the government’s conduct at the time.

The Financial Times online says that the US State Department “strongly disagree with the characterisation” in comments made over the weekend by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu said that “the Palestinian leadership actually demands a Palestinian state with one pre-condition: no Jews… it’s called ethnic cleansing”.

The Times reports claims that Seamus Milne, Labour’s executive director of communications, advised that a Passover greeting to the Jewish community from party leader Jeremy Corbyn omit a traditional Hebrew festive greeting, as the use of Hebrew implied “support for Zionism”.

The i says that the International Paralympic Committee is investigating why the Algerian women’s goalball team missed a Paralympic match against Israel, with suspicion that they may have done so deliberately, effectively refusing to play against Israel.

Meanwhile, the Guardian reports that a paralysed, pregnant woman completed the Great North Run five days after it began, using the Israeli-developed ReWalk bionic suit, which enables those who are paralysed to stand up, walk and climb stairs.

In Syria, the Guardian online reports that Syrian rebel groups have told the US that they will “cooperate positively” with a ceasefire which was agreed over the weekend between the US and Russia, and which is set to come into effect this evening. However, the Times online says that rebel group Ahrar al-Sham, the “biggest mainstream militia working alongside the Fateh al-Sham Front”, formerly affiliated to al-Qaeda, has said it will reject the ceasefire.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Israel Hayom and Haaretz is US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton being taken ill at a 9/11 memorial ceremony yesterday. Yediot Ahronot’s Washington correspondent says that the incident has put the Clinton “campaign in intensive care”.

Meanwhile, Yediot Ahronot prominently reports that Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan will meet with Facebook executives today to discuss ways to reduce online incitement, which they believe has been a key factor in the apparent ‘lone wolf’ Palestinian attacks that killed at least 40 people in the last year. The meeting comes as legislative moves are being made to allow Israeli courts to compel the likes of Facebook and Google to remove content deemed a threat to personal or national safety.

Both Maariv and Israel Radio news suggest that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could meet Turkey’s President Recep-Tayyip Erdogan next week on the sidelines of the United Nations’s General Assembly. Israel and Turkey recently signed a reconciliation agreement to restore full diplomatic relations following a six-year hiatus.

Haaretz reports that the High Court of Justice yesterday rejected the Israel Medical Association’s petition against the so-called “force-feeding law”, which was introduced by the government in response to the rising popularity of hunger strikes among Palestinians being held under administrative detention. The court upheld the law as a life-saving device.

Yediot Ahronot, Haaretz and Israel Hayom report that Israel won its first medal of the Paralympic Games yesterday, with rower Moran Samuel winning a bronze medal.
