RAMALLAH, June 9, 2015 (WAFA) – The three Palestinian Arabic dailies focused in their Tuesday issue on the United States Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday, which abolished a law that would have allowed American parents of children born in Jerusalem to list Israel as their birthplace on passports.

On a different subject, al-Ayyam said the United Nations excluded Israel from the black list of child rights violators. Al-Quds added that both Israel and Hamas, the de-facto authority in Gaza, were excluded from the black list.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the left-wing Meretz party to withdraw a bill which would see settlement-made products marked as such.

Al-Ayyam quoted Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras as saying that Greece would recognize an independent state of Palestine in due course.

Al-Ayyam quoted remarks by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya have ceased to exist as states.

Al-Quds said Israeli army cordoned off a hospital in Beit Jala on Monday to arrest two Palestinians who were earlier wounded in clashes with the army. The army failed to arrest them.

Al-Ayyam said former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Chairman of the Israeli Labour party Isaac Herzog warned against the negative consequences of a seemingly faltering two-state solution for peace in the region.

Al-Quds said the Islamic Hamas Movement denied the presence of any elements wanted by Egypt in Gaza.
