Egypt started dialogue with Palestinian factions to get Palestinians out of the new government impasse
Egypt started bilateral dialogues with Palestinian factions to discuss Palestinian reconciliation and get Palestinians out of the new government impasse.
The Israeli radio mentioned a member of the political office of the public front, Rabah al-Mehana, said the dialogue already started between Cairo and Palestinian factions. She said the public front is the first faction that met with Egyptian leadership.
On the other hand, a member of Fatah's Central Committee, Mahmoud el-Alool, said there is no intention to delay formation of the national unity government after September. He stressed the necessity of unifying Palestinians before the diplomatic war, which will aim to gain international recognition.
Al-Alool stressed there are calls between Fatah and Hamas to resolve current problems and form a new government.
Yediot Ahronot:
Israel accused Egyptian security forces of not being able to control the Bedouins in the Sinai Peninsula; there has been an increase of weapons and missiles smuggled to Gaza Strip.
Israeli political sources claimed Egyptian security forces don't want to confront the Bedouins' attempts to smuggle weapons to Gaza through Egyptian borders. They said a state of anxiety dominates Israeli security and political officials because of strong relations between Egypt and Hamas.
The newspaper quoted security sources in Israeli Military Intelligence Authority saying the past four months there was a notable increase in weapons being smuggled to Gaza Strip. They said Israeli security estimates an armed organization in Gaza and they own 10,000 missiles.
They said the amount of weapons smuggled to Gaza Strip in the past four months is the largest since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza Strip in 2005.
Egypt accepted Erdogan's visit to Gaza Strip through Rafah border crossing. High-profile Israeli political sources said Egypt approved the request of the Turkish Prime Minister, Ragab Tayeb Erdogan, to visit the Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing.
Israeli sources said Erdogan's visit will be the first time a high-profile official visits the besieged strip since the ascent of Hamas to power in Gaza. They said such a visit will strongly support Hamas and its leaders.
The Israeli newspaper pointed out Israel warned of repercussions of such a visit on the deteriorating relations between Turkey and Israel since the Israeli atrocities against the Freedom Flotilla one in May 2010.
On the other hand, Turkish Foreign Minister, Ahmed Dawood Oghlu, stressed Israel should apologize for the brutal attacks against civilians. He made these claims during a meeting with the Israeli newspaper Marriv.
Marriv:
Germany accepted providing Israel with the sixth nuclear submarine that can carry long-range nuclear weapons and missiles.
The newspaper mentioned a German report that confirms German authorities approved the deal to sell a nuclear submarine to Israel after delaying it many times before. The newspaper said Israel demanded the submarine before but Germany impeded the deal.
Maariv said the German Minister of Defense promised his Israeli counterpart to end the deal, during their meeting last week.
Israeli settlers threaten Israeli leftist organizations of a civil war after the Israeli government ratified the boycotting law, the decision to prosecute Israeli citizens who boycott the commodities of the settlements. The General Manager of Yesha council of settlements in the West Bank, Naphtali Bianet, warned of a civil war among the Israelis between the settlers and the members of the leftist organizations in Israel.
Marriv said the declarations were a result of putting posters on commodities produced by the settlements of the West Bank.
Bianet added 350,000 settles serve in the Israeli army and pay taxes as all Israelis and the boycott of the settlers' commodities could lead to a civil war.
Haartez:
Contradicting reports about Mubarak's health were to gain the public's sympathy. Haartez said the recent contradicting reports Egyptian former President Hosni Mubarak's health was an attempt to impede his trial in Cairo.
The newspaper said contradicting reports were issued about Mubarak's health, confirmed by Mubarak's lawyer, Fareed al-Dib, to gain the public's sympathy with the former president.
The newspaper said al-Dib's attempts failed when the manager of the International Hospital of Sharm al-Shiekh denied the authenticity of the news spread falsely by Mubarak's lawyer.
Haartez said Egypt witnessed a new wave of protests recently since the beginning of July, demanding to accelerate the process of reform, to cleanse governmental institutions and to prosecute Mubarak and the figures of his regime.
An Israeli leftist organization revealed Israeli violations against Palestinian minors. The Israeli leftist organization, Btselem, issued a report to reveal the Israeli Army and police imprisoned over 835 Palestinian minors from 2005 to 2010. The report added Palestinian minors were prosecuted in front of military trials in accusations of throwing stones.
The report said prosecutions of Palestinian minors were conducted in accordance with the military law, implemented in the West Bank.
The report added 93 percent of Palestinian minors were sentenced to imprisonment, even when Israeli law bans imprisoning of minors.
The increase in prices of apartments in Israel threatens Netanyahu's government. Haartez said the notable increase of apartment prices in Israel threaten the continuation of Netanyahu's government in Israel. It added a number of members of the economic committees of Israeli Kenesset who visited the protest tent in Tel-Aviv, to establish an expression of Israelis' protest against the increasing prices of apartments in Israel. Protests threaten to overthrow the Israeli government.
The newspaper said the head of the committee expressed his support for the protesters' demands, adding if the government does not meet the protesters' demands, protesters will remove the government.
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, commented on the issue, "There is a housing crisis in Israel so protesters should transfer their demonstrations to the Israeli Kenesset for their demands to be met."
