SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS

Makor Rishon-Hatzofeh believes that early elections are inevitable and says that they will be a clear left-right contest in which Kadima, as a centrist party, will either disappear or be sharply reduced.

Yediot Ahronot suggests that the political revivals of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, "attests to the paucity of leadership in Israel."

Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, dismisses post facto criticism of Jerusalem District Police Commander Ilan Franco over his conduct during last Sunday night's incident at Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium in which several fans were trampled in the melee when Betar Jerusalem fans broke through a fence in an effort to gain access to the field.

Yediot Ahronot, in its third editorial, questions the purpose of releasing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's, Defense Minister Amir Peretz's and former IDF Chief-of-Staff Dan Halutz's testimony to the Winograd Committee.  The editors note that this is unprecedented and assert that the work of previous inquiry committees did not suffer because their protocols were not made public.
