News Summary:
US Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s shocking statement that he wouldn’t accept the election results if he lost, an alleged plot by four Palestinians to attack a wedding hall, and an Arab Israeli family arrested after returning home from Iraq where it had joined ISIS made top stories in today’s Hebrew newspapers.
*Also in the news, a 15-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli soldiers after throwing rocks at their jeep, tens of thousands participated in the annual parade in Jerusalem that takes place during Sukkot, waving the Israeli flag and thousands of others participated in a protest rally at the outpost of Amona, calling on Netanyahu to resist the High Court’s decision to demolish the settlement in two month’s time – and instead legalize it. Far-right Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dehan of Habayit Hayehudi said his party would quit the government if Netanyahu didn’t legalize Amona. Likud MKs Yehudah Glick, Amir Ohana and Oren Hazan also attended the rally. And, Wikileaks revealed that according to US advisor of Zionist Camp chief MK Isaac Herzog, Paul Belula, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would never have won the last election if it weren't for his race-baiting.
Meanwhile, Israel Hayom continues its pro-Trump stance and ran an exclusive interview with the Republican nominee from the eve of third and final debate. And according to an Israeli report, Trump will address a a rally of supporters in Jerusalem next Wednesday via Skype.
