Haaretz contends that PM Netanyahu and FM Liberman are playing "A dangerous election game," by promoting legislation enabling Israeli citizens residing abroad to vote in Knesset elections from the countries they live in. The editor says that "Playing games with our electoral laws will never save Israel from the inevitable decision on the fate of the West Bank," and concludes: "The Netanyahu-Lieberman proposal should be set aside and forgotten."

Yediot Aharonot argues that "It is unfathomable that my parliamentary representatives should fly on behalf of the state under conditions that are below those of their colleagues throughout the world. It is not appropriate that they should curse all the way to an important meeting in which they are representing me."
Ma’ariv refers to the "Shuafat paradox." The author asserts that "Since 1967, perhaps because it is the only refugee camp in Jerusalem, the city and the Government practically ignore the camp’s residents. If we demand, justifiably, the full loyalty of Israeli Arabs – we must ensure the realization of the full rights to which each resident is entitled."
Yisrael Hayom says that "The murder of Sgt. First Class Ihab Khatib [by a Palestinian Authority policeman] put an end to a relatively long period of a relaxation in attacks, which created among us an illusion that the locals accept our presence as an inevitable fact, have ended the intifada and have become lovers of Zion." The author chides, "Did any of our leaders ponder the end result when it was decided to allow the Americans to implant the Dayton Forces in Judea and Samaria?
Walla contends that "Whoever wants to see higher-quality people join politics must cease the petty attack against the Knesset Chairman’s intention to upgrade our representatives to business class."
Nana10 addresses "Minister Ehud Barak – the wimpiest Deputy Prime Minister," and says that "There is a difference between the dark politics of previous leaders and Netanyahu, and that is – deeds. Netanyahu is not a leader who wants or is capable of marching Israel down the unavoidable historic path of dividing the country." The author contends that "Barak knows this," and asks him "If you are a man of principles, what the hell are you doing in this government?"
