SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot claims that US President Obama’s nomination of Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense portends a more restraining American attitude toward Israel vis-à-vis any possible action against Iran.
__________
Two papers discuss the various political parties’ election broadcasts, which began yesterday:
Ma’ariv complains that, „The existing formula of election broadcasts is superfluous, annoying and contributes nothing. We deserve more serious attention from party leaders.”
Yisrael Hayom also criticizes the broadcasts. The author writes, „I do not remember such a confused, superficial and flat election campaign like the one in which we find ourselves; a collection of reality show auditions with accompanying personalities. There is no consideration given to Israel’s core problems in the social, economic and defense sphere.” The author asserts, „In the State of Israel there live some of the smartest people in the world. Please, politicians, give a bit more credit to their common sense and to their capacity to remember.”
