SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Makor Rishon-Hatzofeh discusses the Winograd Committee interim report, and the subsequent television drama awaiting its publication.
Yediot Ahronot predicts that the Winograd Committee interim report will cause a political earthquake.
Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, speculates that the media must also have its day of Winograd style soul-searching. The editors continue by asking the collective media if they were not also pulled into the war by the army and the leadership or did not impose their will on the public."
Yediot Ahronot, in its third editorial, says that less than a week before the last war, outgoing National Security Council Chairman, Giora Eiland, warned that the Prime Minister's Bureau was a weak institution continually lacking professional personnel capable of making wide ranging or encompassing decisions.
