______________________________ SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS Yediot Ahronot suggests that, The settlers protest against the disengagement plan has been conducted up until now by walking the fine line of legitimacy, and, referring to the official bodies efforts, adds that, There is certainly not the same atmosphere of violence and a lack of control that preceded Rabins murder. Hatzofeh discusses the ongoing carnage on the roads and reiterates its call for passengers in vehicles in which the driver is either too inebriated or too exhausted to drive to be held as criminally liable as the driver is.
