SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE IZRAELI HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot says that, „We in Israel are watching in astonishment at the depth of hatred between the sides in Egypt, as well as in the entire Arab world. Compared to the hostility in that world, the conflict with us seems marginal and unfounded. Israel has no interest in involving itself in Egypt or in Syria, but rather to maintain the stability of its borders and the agreements that have been signed.”
Ma’ariv discusses the Iranian threat: „In October 2009, Uzi Eilam, who for a decade led the Israel Atomic Energy Committee, claimed that the media frenzy surrounding uranium centrifuges in Iran would lead to a strengthening of the Islamic republic’s ability to develop a nuclear bomb…because they were diverting the debate from the main track through which Iran intended to attain the weapon for itself: The plutonium track.” The author claims that, „The diplomatic talks are [just] a smoke screen.”
Yisrael Hayom eulogizes former IDF Chief of Staff Amnon Lipkin-Shahak<www.idf.il/1283-17911-EN/Dover.aspx >, calling him „a man of truth.” The author notes that, „In Amnon Lipkin Shahak there was a rare blend of qualities: Courage and fortitude, wisdom and astuteness, integrity and total trustworthiness, steadfastness towards what he believed in – family, army, country.”
