“End of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu era,” was the main front-page story headline in al-Quds Arabic daily published today, which added that Naftali Bennet, of Yamina party, joins Yair Labid, of Yesh Atid, to form the new Israeli government.

“Netanyahu is on the brink of plunging from his post, and the Labid-Bennet-Saar government is coming to shape,” was the main front-page story in al-Ayyam Palestinian Arabic daily published today.

The third Palestinian Arabic daily, al-Hayat al-Jadida, did not give the story of the possible change in the Israeli government as much attention and reported it on the lower half of the front page, but instead highlighted news regarding President Mahmoud Abbas.

It said President Abbas met with the head of the Egyptian intelligence and received a letter from his Egyptian counterpart Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.

The paper also said Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh met with the representative of the European Union for the peace process and discussed with him the Gaza reconstruction file and the creation of a serious peace track.

These stories were also found on the front page of the other two dailies, al-Quds and al-Ayyam, with the latter also saying in another story that Israeli police ran over a boy on a bicycle for hoisting the Palestinian flag and then held the boy.

The paper also said that settlers broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem and razed land east of Yatta to establish a new illegal outpost.

Al-Quds said the Israeli occupation ordered the demolition of a health clinic in the West Bank.

Al-Ayyam had a story about the Emirati ambassador to Israel visiting Jewish rabbis and printed a picture of a rabbi blessing the ambassador.

It said Prime Minister Shtayyeh starts today a visit to Kuwait and two other Gulf countries.

The latest with coronavirus in Palestine was also published on the front page of the three dailies, which said that three people died of the disease yesterday and 210 new cases were recorded.
