SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS

Yediot Ahronot urges Labor Party Chairman MK Amir Peretz's internal party critics to fall in line and get to work.  The editors urge Peretz to live up to his promises to his voters and to recast the Labor Party, "a renewed party of ideas that is genuinely dedicated to advancing socio-economic values in Israel."

Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, discusses the status of 99-year-old Labor Party patriarch Yitzhak Ben-Aharon.

Hatzofeh says that the new government's policy guidelines are anti-Zionist and wonders how Shas can contemplate joining such a government
