SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot notes that, „Europe is now awakening from one of the biggest economic experiments in history. All over the continent recession hit, countries try to extract themselves from the economic pit in which they fell, through draconic austerity measures which included a deadly cocktail of budget cuts, tax rises and brutal privatization. But the political results up until now have been pitiful. Europe has not succeeded in pulling itself out of the mud.” The author poses, „What hidden lessons does this story have for us? Is the economic leadership in Israel ready to demonstrate flexibility? Is it attempting to learn the lessons that were learned in the rest of the world?”
Ma’ariv remarks that, „This week the world celebrated V Day, the day of victory over the dark powers lead by Germany. Here we ignore it or, at the most, we look for some unimportant episode from a war veteran.” The author stresses that, „In a few more years, the heroes whom with their own hands achieved the victory for the free world will no longer march in the streets on the 9th of May. This is the time to bestow significance to this day.”
Yisrael Hayom says that „In light of its shared border with Syria, Jordan is hosting military exercises with the United States in which, according to reports, 17 Arab and other friendly states will take part.” The author advises Syrian President Bashar Assad, „Beware, they are waiting for you.”
