Israeli public radio:
Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, threatens to cancel Oslo agreement if Palestinians head to the U.N.
Liberman said Israel will not follow any agreements with the Palestinian Authority if Palestinians head to the U.N. in order to gain the U.N.'s recognition of the Palestinian state.
Israel's Foreign Minister claimed during his meeting with his EU counterpart that the Palestinian step will breach all agreements including the Oslo agreement. Israeli public radio said that Israel is ready to resume negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
It is scheduled that the EU's Foreign Minister, Catherine Ashton, will hold talks with the President of the Palestinian Authority and its Prime Minister, Salam Fayad, in an attempt to resume negotiations between Palestine and Israel.
Cheese prices fuel a crisis in Israel:
The increasing prices of cheese resumed in Israel, making Israel's Minister of Interior, Eli Yishai, demand the cabinet's legal advisor to conduct a criminal investigation that aims to force companies reduce the prices of their commodities among which cheese is one of them.
About 70 thousand Israelis established a page on Facebook expressing rage against the decision that led to an increase in cheese prices.
The agricultural committee of the Israeli Kenesset strongly opposed the Israeli Minister of Finance's proposal of importing dairy products from Europe.
Yediot Ahronot:
Blast in the Israeli city of Netanya left 94 dead and injured.
Four people were killed while 90 were injured by the explosion.
Yediot Ahronot quoted medical sources that say that one man and three women had been killed. It also described wounds as negligible injuries. The investigations conducted by e Israeli police reported that a gas tank exploded on the ground floor of a four-storey building. A number of shops and restaurants were on the ground floor.
The engineering department of Natanya ordered the closure of the building and the evacuation of all the people living in its apartments.
The Israeli newspaper said the police detained a suspect for cutting the tube of the tank, which was what led to the explosion. The owners of the shops said they saw him while he was cutting the tube.
The owners of the shops noted the competition between two businessmen, indicating that it was one of them who had told the suspect to cut the tube. The police also arrested the managers of Amisragas Company, accusing them of carelessness.
The newspaper said that technicians of the company headed to the building and said that cutting the tube was not what had led to the explosion.
Marriv:
Iranian military achievements increase Israel's anxiety.
Israel's political and military officials suffer from the military achievements that Iran has managed, especially regarding its air defense. The Iranians managed to develop drones that are able to target specific objects.
A military source from Israel's Ministry of Defense revealed that the aircrafts have been sent to Hezbollah and Syria. The Israeli radar from the Israeli air defense is prepared to counter such threats, said Marriv.
The newspaper also highlighted the medium range missiles that have filled Syrian stores. The missiles are able to carry hundreds of kilograms of explosive materials that can target Israel's Ministry of Defense as well as other places.
Israel expressed its concern over the Iranian satellite, Rashid, that was launched by a long range missile.
Haartez:
Israeli President, Shimon Perez, is frustrated about Israel's future as a Jewish state.
Haartez published unannounced declarations of Perez in which he expressed his concern over the future of Israel as a Jewish state, especially with the current deadlock.
The newspaper said that Perez, who has been in office for four years, is concerned over the future of Israel.
"I'm concerned about Israel's current deadlock which may lead to the establishment of a bi-national state," said Perez during an unofficial meeting. The procrastination that is occurring today is threatening the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel, added Perez.
Perez said Israel should accept resuming negotiations regarding the 1967 borders in order to gain world support. He also criticized his Prime Minister's claims of the borders not being protected, which he said during his speech in front of the U.S Congress.
Perez expressed his fear of a potential international economic boycott campaign.
