SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot exclaims, „It is unbelievable: Everyday people are immolating themselves out of despair and dire straits, Syria is burning and is raising concern over an outpouring of chemical weapons, and what did the Prime Minister of Israel do yesterday? He was busy talking to MK Avi Duan… and also holding feverish talks aimed at drawing into the Likud a number of Kadima MKs in exchange for a meager prostitute’s fee.”
Ma’ariv maintains that, „In the short term the fall of the Assad regime will cause us no small security headache. The border with Syria, which was quiet for quite a few years, is likely to heat-up; gangs of terrorists are liable to attempt to harm soldiers and civilians, similar to what is happening on the southern border. But in the long run we are talking about a net gain for Israel. Without Assad, the axis of evil loses its territorial continuity between Iran and Lebanon. Iranian revolutionary guards and Hezbollah representatives will no longer be able to remain in the country (Senior Islamic Jihad figures have already fled to Iran), and Syria’s automatic support for terrorism will halt, at least temporarily. Syria never was a Middle East power like Saudi Arabia or Egypt;, however, as far as Israel is concerned, it is likely to be the most important domino piece in the Arab Spring.”
Yisrael Hayom recalls that, „The Bug 2000 hysteria became history of which nearly no one remembers. It is likely that that will also happen to what now seems like Bug 2012, the matter of ultra-orthodox service in the IDF.” The author believes that, „This change will not happen in a day. This is a continuous process, long-term, but crucial to our existence as society which values Torah study and at the same time is committed to equality in carrying the national burden.”
