The editors argue that, After Rabin died, there was no leader who was capable of enforcing wise directives, and note that the Likud leaders were following a different vision. The paper expresses hope that the situation will be different on the ninth anniversary of Rabins murder. Hatzofeh remarks that, It will be a miracle if
the Histadrut and the Treasury reach an understanding; or if they announce that they need a few more days in order to arrive at an agreement. The editors argue that the Labor courts could play an important role in helping to solve the crisis. Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, discusses Mikhail Khodorkosvkys recent arrest and dismisses the view that the motive behind the arrest was anti-Semitic. Yediot Ahronot, in its third editorial, suggests that the New Jersey solution to abuse of women in Massage parlors, i.e. stopping the clients and publicly displaying them on television, should be adopted in Israel.
