The Times, Telegraph and the online edition of the Guardian report on the postponed UN Security Council vote condemning Israeli settlements, scheduled for last night. The Guardian online suggests that Egypt was pressured into delaying the resolution, after “speculation that the US might not deploy its veto”. The Times and Telegraph note that  President-elect Donald Trump tweeted his view that the Obama administration should veto the resolution.

The Guardian, Telegraph, Metro, i and Daily Star report that 60-year-old Dalia Elyakim, an Israeli mother of two, was confirmed as one of the victims killed in the truck attack on a Christmas fair in Berlin earlier this week.

The Times reports that the Chief Rabbis of Jerusalem have told hotel managers that they should not display Christmas trees, in the belief that doing so would contravene Jewish law. The article notes that Israel’s Tourism Ministry has said that hotels should feel free to display Christmas trees and that municipalities in Jerusalem, Jaffa and elsewhere should put up Christmas trees themselves.

The i covers comments made by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that Israel is prepared to take in wounded civilians from Syria, particularly from Aleppo, in order to receive medical treatment in Israeli hospitals.

The Independent and the online editions of the Guardian, Telegraph and Times report that the final group of civilian evacuees have now left Eastern Aleppo as President Bashar al-Assad claimed control over the entire city.

The Guardian reports that feminist groups in Lebanon have called for protests after a man was named as the country’s first ever women’s affairs minister.

The Times, Telegraph and Sun report comments made by Baroness Deech that some universities in the UK have become “no-go” areas for Jewish students due to antisemitism, and that these universities possibly fail to tackle the situation as they are increasingly “chasing very large donations from Saudi Arabia and Gulf states”.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Israel Hayom and Haaretz is yesterday’s decision by Egypt to postpone its resolution at the UN Security Council, which condemned Israeli settlements. Maariv suggests that the pressure placed on Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is “the first instance of cooperation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US president-elect Donald Trump”. In Yediot Ahronot, Smadar Peri says that al-Sisi’s decision to back down from the motion “was not a sudden outburst of kindness,” but a pragmatic decision which owes itself to Israel’s vital security cooperation with Cairo.

The main item in Yediot Ahronot and Maariv is the arrest of Joint Arab List MK Basel Ghattas, on suspicion of conspiring to commit a crime, fraud and breach of trust. He is alleged to have smuggled mobile phones to a Palestinian security prisoner inside an Israeli prison. Ghattas agreed to have his parliamentary immunity lifted and was subsequently arrested a few hours later. Reports are suggesting that he remains in custody for fear that he may otherwise attempt to flee the country.

Another major story in Haaretz and Israel Hayom is the High Court’s decision yesterday to grant the government’s request of a 45-day delay to evacuate the Amona outpost in the West Bank. The new deadline for the evacuation is due to take place on 8 February 2017. The court made clear that this would be the final extension, regardless of whether an adequate solution is found to re-housing the residents.
