Haaretz leads Tuesday morning with the prime minister's support for a proposal to let Israelis who live abroad vote in national elections. The initiative is being advanced by Yisrael Beiteinu and is opposed by Labor, Shas and some Likud MKs.
Kadima has lodged a no confidence motion in the government. The no confidenit declaration comes a year after national elections, and Haaretz suggests that the timing is not coincidental.
Maariv summarizes the past year, 2009, as "the year of capitulation." The paper says that one year after elections, "Lieberman is running amok in the Foreign Ministry, Yishai is going wild in the Interior Ministry, Netanyahu is mum, and the public pays."
Yediot Ahronot leads with the spate of attacks on judges, and carries what it terms a "monologue" from one such judge who is under threats.
The Jerusalem Post, reporting on Iran's decision to produce higher enriched uranium, cites an Israeli assessment that Iran aims to stockpile uranium for a small arsenal, and then pursue weapons. The paper also features photograph from what it describes as a massive snowball fight organized by Israelis in Washington, DC. |
