The Financial times and Guardian report that UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson cancelled a trip to Moscow in light of the US missile strikes in Syria. The Guardian reports the Russian Foreign Ministry’s comments that the cancellation highlighted a “fundamental misunderstanding or lack of knowledge of the events in Syria, Russia’s efforts to settle that crisis and the general objectives of diplomacy”.

The Daily Telegraph notes that Boris Johnson will now attend the G7 meeting this week to work on a proposal which would allow Russia to re-join the G7 in exchange for ending its support for President al-Assad in Syria.

The i reports that following the US missile strike Russia and Iran have issued a warning that they will not tolerate further violations of their red lines. Their joint command centre said: “From now on we will respond with force to any aggressor or any breach of red lines from whoever it is.” This follows Defence Secretary Michael Fallon’s criticism of Russia’s support for Assad in the Times yesterday, in which he stressed President Putin’s culpability in the Idlib chemical attack.

The Guardian reports that the US intends to wait and see how other countries react to its missile strike before committing to a future course of action in Syria, although it notes that US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said “There is no political solution with Assad at the lead”.

The Times and the i report that at least 44 people died in two bombing attacks on Coptic churches in Egypt on Palm Sunday. The i reports that ISIS have claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The Guardian cites the cyber security sector in Israel as an example for Britain to follow: “Consider how Israel has private companies, venture capitalists, research universities and the military all working to make sure their nation is safe from digital attack.”

The Israeli weekend papers featured extensive commentary on the US attack on the Syrian al-Shayran air base. The Israeli media also focus on preparations for Passover, how people will spend it, and the likely heavy traffic on the roads.

Writing in Yediot Ahronoth, Nahum Barnea comments: “The American bombing was a punitive action, not part of any strategic course of action. The Trump administration has no strategy, not for Syria or any other place. Its strategy is to have no strategy.”

Alex Fishman agrees arguing that “the Pentagon chose to carry out only one piece of the attack that had been planned in 2013… an attack with cruise missiles is the lowest bar of American military signals. This signal does not appear to be a new strategy, more like shooting from the hip”.

Ma’ariv believes that Trump “restored the United States to its premier status—as the boss and the world’s policeman”. He argues that “the American airstrike signals… that the man in the White House is unpredictable, resolute, and means what he says. This action can also signal to Israel that when the president of the United States says he intends to achieve the ultimate deal for an Israeli-Palestinian arrangement and believes in the chances of doing so, he’s serious.”

The Yediot Ahronoth holiday supplement contains a lengthy interview with Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman in which he states with “100% certainty” that the chemical attack in Syria was carried out by the Assad regime “on his direct and premeditated orders, by Syrian aircraft”. Speaking about Gaza, Lieberman argued that the assassination of Mazen Fuqaha was an internal Hamas matter and that he had only heard about it on the news and that Israel must reach a situation “in which the side that forces war on us realises that it doesn’t pay”.

Israel Hayom and Army Radio report that the security cabinet decided to review the possibility of bringing children who were injured in the chemical attack in the area of Idlib in Syria to Israel for medical treatment.

Ha’aretz reports that the Joint List failed to condemn the Assad regime for the gas attack in Syria due to the opposition by the Hadash party.

Yediot Ahronoth reports on the plea bargain for former MK Basel Ghattas who smuggled cell phones to security prisoners which was approved by the Beer Sheva Magistrates Court. The judge added a fine of NIS 120,000 to the two-year prison sentence that was stipulated in the plea bargain. Ghattas will begin serving his prison sentence on July 2 after Ramadan.
