The UK newspapers are dominated by the resignation of Baroness Warsi, which is reported in the FT, Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Independent, Independent i, Sun, Mirror, Express, Daily Mail, Star, Metro and the Standard.  The FT notes that Lady Warsi was Britain’s first Muslim female cabinet member, and quotes Mohamed Amin of the Conservative Muslim Forum as saying Ms Warsi would have come under Muslim community pressure. However, it also notes that Ms Warsi has been telling friends for some months that she planned to resign. The Telegraph cites Ms Warsi’s claim on Channel 4 News that another minister was considering resigning. The Times leader criticises Ms Warsi’s suggestion that the UK should have a unilaterally-hostile policy towards Israel.

As the ceasefire is holding, many papers have moved into “post-conflict” stories. The Guardian reports on Palestinians returning home and the challenges of reconstruction. The Times follows Gazan families searching for loved ones while the Independent focuses on efforts to rebuild power and sewage plants. The Guardian also speaks to Israeli soldiers leaving the frontline and returning home, and their sadness about civilian casualties in Gaza.

The Guardian and Times report on the talks in Cairo to secure a permanent ceasefire, noting that there are major gaps between the two sides. Ian Black lists the ‘key issues’ that it believes will lead to a lasting ceasefire: border crossings and border control, demilitarisation, prisoner releases, reconstruction and peace negotiations.

The Guardian, Telegraph and Times report on Palestinian plans to join the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Guardian notes that the Palestinian Authority (PA) plans to ask Hamas and Islamic Jihad to co-sign their application. However, the same piece notes that Palestinian terror organisations could be held accountable at the ICC too.

The Telegraph runs an op-Ed by former US President Jimmy Carter and former Irish President Mary Robinson, urging an end to the blockade of Gaza and for Israel to work with Hamas. An op-Ed by Lord Steel in the Independent compares Israel to apartheid-era South Africa and also insists that Israel engage directly with Hamas.

The Times, Independent, and the Independent i report on the London-based Tricycle Theatre’s refusal to host the UK Jewish Film Festival due to its sponsorship from the Israeli Embassy. The Theatre has hosted the festival for the last eight years. The Mirror and Independent also cover a protest taking place on the roof of a factory allegedly owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit.

Israeli newspapers focus on the day of calm following the ceasefire announcement and on the arrival of the Israeli negotiating team to Cairo.

In the aftermath of the conflict, Israeli media is asking about the apparent failure to deal with the tunnel threat earlier. Yossi Yehoshua in Yediot Ahronot raises questions about some specific incidents during the conflict where soldiers were killed. Ben Caspit in Maariv criticises the decision to stop the operation instead of toppling Hamas.

Yediot Ahronot also carries a harsh comment piece by Itamar Eichner which suggests that Israel’s success in the conflict was limited – the rocket fire didn’t stop until the ceasefire, senior Hamas members survived, and Israel was not able to deter the Hamas attacks in the first place.

The lifting of a gag order allowed Israeli newspapers to report the arrest of Hussam Qawasme, believed to be the controller of the cell which kidnapped and killed the three Israeli teenagers in June.

Israel Hayom quotes Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh claming that the destruction in Gaza was proof that Hamas had won the war.
