World newspapers: American dismay at Israel's bid to strike Iran and debate in the Knesset

World newspapers spoke about American dismay at Israel's pursuit of directing a new military strike against Iran, noting that Tel Aviv is trying to prevent Tehran from acquiring the ability to disrupt its air defenses.

Indeed, it reported that American officials expressed their dismay at Israel's readiness to direct a new military strike against Iran, in a way that hinders Washington's efforts to achieve stability in the region.

And Israel considers -according to the newspaper- the opportunity opportune because Iran's missile launch capability is still weak, and its air defenses are weakened, while the ruling regime faces a number of challenges.

Also, Israel fears -according to the newspaper- that Iran may be able to produce thousands of missiles in the coming years, which is enough to disrupt any air defenses.

Regarding the investigation committee that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to form to investigate the October 7, 2023 attack, it said that a wide debate is taking place within the Israeli parliament (the Knesset), due to the draft law forming this committee.

And the newspaper said that the ruling coalition insists on passing the project because it limits Netanyahu's responsibility -wanted by the International Criminal Court- and the government, noting that it faces major obstacles.

And among the most prominent of these obstacles -according to the newspaper- the opposition of the government's legal advisor, and the possibilities of appealing it before the Supreme Court, in addition to disagreements within the coalition itself regarding the formula that allows politicians to choose committee members, which may expose it to serious legal problems in the coming period.

In a report, it said that Israel ranked last and recorded the biggest decline in its annual ranking on the Global National Brands Index amid a sharp decline in its image.

And the report clarified that the criticisms are no longer limited to the leaders only, but have extended to the society itself where Israel ranked last in the index of trust, sympathy, and goodwill towards citizens.

Also, it noted that Israelis face major challenges abroad including threats and severed relations in cultural and academic fields.

Regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip, it wrote that Israel has not stopped killing Palestinians for more than one or two consecutive days since the ceasefire came into effect.

And the newspaper noted that death may strike Gazans during a family outing or even while sleeping in a tent, and that Palestinians in Gaza may die just by crossing the yellow line, which represents the unclear borders between east Gaza and west Gaza.

And it considered that the rise in the number of Palestinian martyrs at the hands of the army "highlights the fragility of the truce with the existence of borders that are difficult to distinguish".

In the Syrian affair, it revealed that hacked communications and leaked analyses on social media sites showed plans by generals and officials in Bashar al-Assad's army to support the rebellion and arm Syrian fighters.

And the newspaper said that these efforts aim to undermine the nascent Syrian government, and perhaps regain part of the country through supporting an armed rebellion from exile, noting that one of them "supported a pressure campaign in Washington with millions of dollars".

And the newspaper concluded by saying that these hope to regain control from the Syrian coast as it is the homeland of many military and intelligence officials in the Assad regime.
