Three questions:
1) Was the Gaza attack intended to derail the cease-fire plans?
2) How is that attack playing in Israel? Any sense that Sharon has gone too far?
3) Could you characterize the leading israeli papers by politics and audience? Yediot is mass-circulation - does that mean it's rather sensational and downscale, like a U.S. or British tabloid? And how does Ha'aretz fit in? I imagine it as sort of like the Guardian - leftish but not too.
