On the situation in Lebanon, Al-Yaum newspaper said that the situation in Lebanon has been tragic as the state of paralysis prevails over Lebanon due to the lack of the formation of a new government. The paper said that Lebanon may be in need of a national unity government at this stage, but the formation of this government should not be as a mean to extort the designated premier. In an editorial entitled "The Punishment of Israel", Al-Madinah newspaper said that Israel committed crimes against humanity in its aggression on the Gaza Strip, noting in this regard to the recent United Nations report on Israel's crimes and its call on the U.N. Security Council to take measures against Israel. On the same topic, Al-Riyadh newspaper said that the U.N. Security Council can not refer the case of the punishment of Israel to the Court of Justice to submit Israel's top leaders for trials similar to Serbs' leaders, noting that the topic is no more than a position from the International Organization to exonerate itself from the negligence of the Israel's crime against the Gaza Strip. --SPA www.spa.gov.sa/700987
