The political tsunami - that could wash away Netanyahu

In Monday's international papers we take a good look at the issues facing Israel as Tukish prime minister Erdogan visits Egypt to try and build a common cause - alongside gay rights campaigns in Iran, and the commercialisation of one of the world's most famous Buddhist temples.

IN THE PAPERS

By Elena CASAS

The Guardian says israel must adapt to a radically changed Middle Eastern reality - or risk becoming a footnote in global politics.

Haaretz argues that if Netanyahu doesn't change tack, it will be his government that falls victim to this political crisis - but the Jerusalem Post says Egypt is using Israel as a scapegoat.

Back in the Guardian, we take a look at gay rights activists in Iran - outing themselves on Facebook.

And the Independent looks at the growing commercialisation of the famous Shaolin Temple.

Israel and the US

I can't believe Israel has been so ignorant of the change in ME. they will get isolated and go down if it continues in the way they have been. Also, USA will have the same way if they are still eager to support and fund Israel no matter what. The US should realize that Israel's acts danger to maintain its(US's) leadership in the world.
