News Summary:
More details on the ‘Jewish terror’ suspects and their ideology, the suspicion that the massacre in California was perpetrated by a radical Islamist, three Israelis injured in two attacks yesterday, one attack believed to be perpetrated by an intelligence officer of the Palestinian security services, and the swearing-in of Israel’s 18th police chief were top stories in today’s Friday Hebrew newspapers.
Also of interest, President Reuven Rivlin said he believes that a confederation is the appropriate solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. (Also Maariv) And a new document will be distributed among Israeli embassies declaring that Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) are legal, Channel 2 News first reported. Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely is behind the move, Maariv reported.
**The papers wrote at length about the Jewish youth arrested on suspicion of murdering the Dawabsheh family in Duma, as well as carrying out other attacks. Yedioth interviewed the father of one of the suspects, who compared Israel to the Third Reich, and gave an alibi for his son. Haaretz’s Chaim Levinson discussed how the suspects evaded the Shin Bet, even though they were already labeled as dangerous. Haaretz’s Amos Harel wrote that despite the arrests, the case if far from being solved and if the investigation fails, Palestinians “will see this as further proof that Israel does not value Palestinian lives, even when they're innocent terror victims.” Maariv’s Noam Amir wrote that sources in the security establishment believe that there won’t be indictments against the suspects because the “perpetrators of the crime are experts in hiding information.” And a poll found that 43% of the Israeli public think that the security establishment is not doing enough to bring the Dawabsheh family murderers to justice. (Maariv)
The papers also interviewed relatives of the Dawabsheh family, who only know about the arrests from the media because no official Israel source informed them, and shared their feelings. Ahmed, the five-year-old son who survived, but was severely wounded, is improving greatly and will soon go into rehabilitation. Prof. Raz Somech, the director of the pediatric department at Sheba Hospital, said, “This family has become part of the department and (Ahmed) is like a family member our ours here.”
