SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot discusses alternatives for dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat against Israel and suggests that, „An alternative has suddenly appeared out of the offices of Netanyahu and Barak: To not stop Iran’s nuclear armament, and take the risk of a prolonged war of attrition with it. To strike at the special relationship between the US and Israel, and to lose Israel’s deterrent ability against Iran as well.”
Ma’ariv discusses what it refers to as ‘After the holidays<www.jewfaq.org/holiday1.htm>’ syndrome’: „What is the reason that Knesset members need to lock up the plenum for two and a half months, paradoxically, during the days when the country is overflowing with security and economic confrontations?” The author claims that, „The postponement of decision-making is based on a flight from responsibility.”
