Syria: 'Civil war turns regional crisis'

INTERNATIONAL PAPERS, Mon. 06/05/13: International papers react to reports of Israeli air strikes on Syria. Haaretz says Israel is trying to send a "pacifying message" to Bashar al-Assad: the country’s sole interest in the air strikes is preventing the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah, not regime change. Also, Germany’s biggest neo-Nazi trial gets underway while the Independent says anti-Semitism is on the rise in Europe.

French papers mark François Hollande’s first year in office with a less-than-glowing report card, highlighting the president’s plummeting popularity. Elsewhere, the fate of Syrians living in Aleppo is on the front page, two years after the city was engulfed by sectarian violence. And an arms cache uncovered... in a bin in Paris! One homeless man discovered a curious collection of weapons.

Obama must move on Guantanamo

International editorials all have advice for Obama and his hopes to close Guantanamo, this as many of its inmates go on hunger strike. In the wake of the collapse of a textile factory in Bangladesh, the pope condemns "slave labour" working conditions and called for more job stability.
