The Telegraph and i cover the responses of world leaders to US President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban entry to citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.  The stories mention how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said via social media that Trump’s plan to build a wall on the US-Mexican border is a “great idea.” Netanyahu explained that he “built a wall along Israel’s southern border,” with Egypt, which was largely responsible for an almost complete end to illegal African migration to Israel.

The Independent reports that Mexico’s government has condemned Netanyahu’s comment over Trump’s plan to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. The country’s Foreign Ministry said that it expresses “profound astonishment, rejection and disappointment” over the statement.

The Financial Times says that Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif has described Trump’s executive order as “a gift to extremists”. Iran is one of the seven countries whose citizens will be temporarily barred from entering the US by the order.

The Telegraph online includes a feature on Israeli settler leaders, who are “brimming with ambition” as a result of Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. The article says that Israel’s settler leaders are hoping that Trump “will give the green light for the Israeli government to build more homes and settlements” and the possible annexation of parts of the West Bank. The article also predicts that Netanyahu will come under greater pressure to make such moves from right-wing leaders, primarily Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett.

In the Telegraph, Charles Moore notes a recent piece in the Jewish Chronicle by Robert Hannigan, the former director of GCHQ, who praised the intelligence links between the UK and Israel. Moore says that “we have tended” to omit Israel when highlighting counter-terrorism partners, “presumably out of political timidity”. He says it is good that credit is “finally being given” in this regard.

In the Israeli media, Yediot Ahronot leads with a warning that tens if not hundreds of thousands of Israelis, who were born in Iran, Libya and other countries subject to President Trump’s executive order, may not be permitted entry into the US. Although those in question fled the countries of their birth due to persecution, the article says “the problem is that the United States views individuals as the subjects of the country in which they were born, even if they no longer live there”.

The top story in Haaretz, which is also covered prominently by Israel Hayom and Maariv is the news that a final Knesset vote is expected today on the so-called Regulation Bill, which would retroactively permit a number of West Bank outposts built on private Palestinian land. Israel Hayom and Maariv emphasise that although the bill will likely be approved by the Knesset, Attorney General Avichai Mandleblit has said that he won’t support the bill in any potential court challenge.

The front page story in Maariv and Israel Hayom focuses on a murder in the north of the country at the weekend, in which a husband with no previous criminal record apparently stabbed and murdered his wife and three young children. Covering the funerals, Israel Hayom’s headline is “Little angels”.

Israel Radio news says that Israel’s Ambassador to Mexico will be summoned today for a reprimand, following Prime Minister Netanyahu’s weekend statement which appeared to support President Trump’s plan to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.

Another item in Israel Radio’s morning report covers comments made yesterday by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who said that he has no intention of running for the country’s leadership. He also told a Labour Party convention that new people must come to the fore, specifically mentioning Zionist Union MKs Itzik Shmueli and Stav Shaffir.
