"Israeli" security establishment: Organizations trying to sabotage the "Israeli"-Egyptian Border
"Israel" Hayom
The high tension on the "Israeli"-Egyptian border is still present. The defense establishment possesses additional information about organizations trying to set the mutual borders ablaze. They are afraid of shooting down an IAF aircraft, shooting at vessels or firing anti-tank missiles against the army. The army followed up today the border incident investigations, but in the meantime, Karam Shalom crossing was reopened and goods are being transferred into Gaza.
The army and the defense establishment hope that the operation in which 16 Egyptian policemen were killed will lead Egypt to change its strategy and be more alerted in dealing with terrorist cells wandering in Sinai. "Israel" noted in recent days that some changes occurred on the Egyptian side.

MK Elkin: High Possibility For Early Elections
Ma'ariv
MK Ze'ev Elkin said during an interview with the Knesset channel on Monday night, that "there is a large possibility that we hold the elections next October, and if other coalition members were responsible, we will hold the elections on the original date, October 2013."
Four days ago, the Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin was interviewed by the Knesset channel as well. He touched on the issue of establishing a unity government devised by PM Netanyahu, and the head of the coalition Shaul Mofaz three months ago, "It's all about Netanyahu's fault," he said.
Rivlin: Elections in winter
Rivlin explained his uncertainty about Mofaz and Netanyahu's implementation of their plan, and noted that the PM knows he made a moral mistake and lost the citizens' political trust. However, Rivlin estimated that the decision is based on national considerations, not political ones.
"I think that it is important for the elections to be held in September, and in spite of this, eventually the elections will be held during the winter term, between February and March".

British Ambassador To "Israel": "Israel's" Support Is Collapsing
Nana News
Matthew Gould, the British ambassador to "Israel", warned on Thursday, of the risk of "Israel's" position in the world, saying: "Any person interested in the position of "Israel" in the world must be concerned about supporting it."
"I see a country, and I do not think that Britain opposes me in this regard, with a growing fear over the lack of progress towards peace," he added, "supporting "Israel" is beginning to collapse and it is not a question of those people who are screaming and calling for boycott and so on. The concerned group includes the members of the Parliament, the majority, and I see a transformation in this group."
Gould, a Jew born in London, introduces himself as a lover of "Israel". Perhaps that's why he tends to say things to us directly. "The Israelis may wake up after ten years to discover suddenly that the rate of understanding in the international community has changed, it reduced the level of patience with the status quo."
The State of "Israel" is investing significant resources in the media, at a time where it requires a great effort to pass "Israeli" messages to the enemy. "The problem is not the media. Perhaps the British are not experts, but they are not stupid, and they see the flow of data on the new construction in the settlements, and they tell their stories about what is happening in the West Bank, and about the border in Gaza. The content of what is happening is the key element."
What is the capital of "Israel"?
We meet the ambassador following an incident between the two countries. Practically, in the middle of the Olympic Games, an event that symbolizes more than anything the values of friendship and good will, an incident took place and led to a considerable tension between "Israel" and Britain. The network of the BBC designed a special page for each State participating in the games, and referred to each State by its capital. Only in "Israel's" Page everything related to the capital was empty. In addition to that, they wrote in Palestine's page that East Jerusalem is the promised capital.
It did not end here. BBC put a picture on the site to represent each state. In the "Israeli" page, the British network chose to put an "Israeli" soldier defying a Palestinian. While in Syria's page, for example, they put a picture of innocent children outside a mosque.
Prime Minister's Office decided to stand against this, and pressuring the network led to the replacement of the image. Despite this, and according to BBC, Jerusalem is not the capital of "Israel"; it is only the whereabouts of the "Israeli" government.
In this regard Gould said," it would not be right to prevaricate and explain their actions." "In order to explain we have to talk to the BBC, but I say that some see "Israel" as a giant and the Palestinians as a friend", he added. "We can discuss the relationship with "Israel", but what we are facing does not seem easy to waive."
