The Guardian online says that a New York court has ordered the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) to pay large sums of money. In total, they will be required to submit $10 million in a cash bond and a further monthly payment of $1 million while they appeal a ruling which found both bodies complicit in a series of bombings and shootings in Israel between 2002 and 2004 in which a number of American citizens were harmed.

The Telegraph and Guardian both cover further comments made by Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond, during his visit to Iran. Having reopened the UK Embassy in Tehran on Sunday, Hammond met yesterday with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani. Hammond said that Iran’s leaders wish to “turn a page” on their relations with the West and that in particular it is important to talk with Iran to find a solution in Syria.

City AM highlights that British business leaders joined Hammond in Iran and that the trade mission prominently included executives from the energy sector. However, the Financial Times online reports that BP declined to join the delegation, fearing US legal action as sanctions on Iran currently remain in place.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Israel Hayom is the sharp drop in global markets, which has seen the Tel Aviv stock exchange fall by 7.5 per cent since Sunday. Maariv says that there is disappointment within Israel’s finance sector that Governor of the Bank of Israel Dr. Karnit Flug yesterday decided to keep the interest rate unchanged at 0.1 per cent. In the same publication, analyst Yehuda Sharoni says candidly that “we have been caught with our pants down. Under current conditions, the Bank of Israel is lacking many tools” to deal with the market plunge.

Israel Radio news says that around 1,200 African migrants will be released from detention facilities in southern Israel today and tomorrow. This follows a recent High Court decision, ruling that although the detention facilities for illegal migrants can remain open, the period of detention must be shortened. Those being released will be issued with identity cards, but will not be allowed in Tel Aviv or Eilat, where a high concentration of African migrants already exists amid the concerns of local residents.
