The online edition of the Guardian reports that Israel will today re-open the Erez and Kerem Shalom border crossings with the Gaza Strip, which had been briefly closed as a security measure, after a Gaza rocket landed in Israel on Friday.

The Times online says that Israeli leaders, including the country’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have accused Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas of incitement. The accusation comes after Abbas sent a letter of condolence to the family of an assailant who attempted last week to assassinate a campaigner for greater Jewish prayer rights at the Temple Mount. Abbas called the attacker a “martyr” and referred to his “assassination” after he was killed in a shoot-out with Israeli counter-terrorism officers.

The Guardian online reports that United States Supreme Court justices are divided over a case which could impact the US position on Jerusalem. They are deliberating over a request, opposed by the State Department, by the parents of a 12-year-old boy born in Jerusalem to have their son’s place of birth stated in his passport as Israel. The US government currently does not recognise Israel’s sovereignty of the entirety of Jerusalem.

The Guardian online says that ISIS claims to have captured a second gas field in Syria, in the Homs region. The Telegraph online suggests that recent ISIS advances in the Homs and Idlib regions pose a serious threat to President Assad.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot and Haaretz is the testimony given in court yesterday by Shula Zaken, the former aide to Ehud Olmert during his time as prime minister and other senior roles. In May, Olmert was sentenced to six years imprisonment on bribery charges, but was acquitted of receiving illegal payments. Zaken subsequently revealed secret recordings implicating Olmert over these charges and agreed to make them available as part of a plea bargain reducing her sentence as part of the bribery case. Her evidence, which was presented yesterday in court, is also prominently covered by Maariv and Israel Hayom. All titles report that Zaken claims Olmert knew everything about the alleged illegal payments.

In commentary on the case, Yediot Ahronot’s Sima Kadmon says that the new revelations are shocking for those who always believed Olmert to be guilty as well as those who maintained his innocence. Writing in Maariv though, Ben Caspit says that, “The tragedy is ours, because Ehud Olmert was a good prime minister.”

The other major item is violence which put a premature end last night to the football derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv. The game was abandoned after a Hapoel fan ran onto the pitch and attacked Maccabi player Eran Zahavi, who appeared to be left unprotected by police. The referee then sent off Zahavi who had defended himself against the fan and further scuffles ensued between players before more fans invaded the pitch. The incident dominates the front page of both Maariv and Israel Hayom, which both lead with the simple headline “Disgrace,” while Yediot Ahronot calls it “A black day for football.”
