On the front page of the press, the vote of confidence granted Sunday by the Israeli parliament to the government of the new Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett.
"It is time to heal the nation," said Benjamin Netanyahu's successor, ousted from power by a right-to-left coalition including an Arab party. "Farewell Bibi" ("Goodbye Bibi"):
The Jerusalem Post
sees "something ironic and symbolic" in this departure, as the Israelis prepare to live without a mask again, starting tomorrow. "Israel's success in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic is due to several factors, but one of them has certainly been Netanyahu's ability to bring enough vaccines to the country," writes the newspaper, which thanks him for "all of his political action".
Israel Hayom
mentions the promise of the former Prime Minister to return to the political game very quickly, to "bring down the dangerous government" of Naftali Bennett.
The new head of government has long been Benjamin Netanyahu's ally. And
Haaretz
, for his part, finds it ironic that he was ultimately dethroned, not by his ideological adversaries, but by "a generation of politicians he himself shaped", former allies. who "brought him down because he betrayed them, because he lied to them for too long," according to the newspaper. The Lebanese daily
L'Orient-Le Jour
wonders, however, about the lifespan of Netanyahu's killers - a motley coalition, whose components would have in common only their shared hostility against the outgoing Prime Minister. "Netanyahout": in France,

He also doubts the survival of a coalition "whose only cement was to obtain the departure" of Benjamin Netanyahu, by announcing "the end of twelve years of a reign by fear which will have done mad harm (to Israel ) by deteriorating its image on the international scene, by relegating the Palestinians of Israel to the rank of second-class citizens, by burying every week more the prospect of seeing this region in peace one day. 'train' Bibi 'in prison ". Benjamin Netanyahu, now alone in the face of justice - to do also with this drawing by Chapatte for the
NZZ am Sonntag
where we see him trying to create a diversion: "Oh, a rocket from Hamas". “It doesn't work anymore,” the judge replied.
On the front page, too, the record of the G7 summit, whose leaders tried to define a strategy vis-à-vis China. The French daily
Les Echos
evokes "a fragile alliance" in the face of Beijing's international aims, the Europeans displaying a more measured tone than the United States. Shades swept away by
The China Daily
, which quotes a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in London: "The days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone." China, but also Russia, in the sights of the G7 - also mentioned in Coco's drawing, for
Liberation
, alluding to the promise of the G7 to fight against global warming: "It is however cold war temperatures", ironically the Russian president Vladimir Poutine, near his friend and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
After the G7, Europeans and Americans are meeting this Monday in Brussels for the NATO summit.
Here again, differences would oppose each other, according to
Le Figaro
- which reports that the Europeans, "anxious not to lose access to the lucrative Chinese market", are "reluctant to make the Alliance a tool in the face of Chinese ambitions, as US President Joe Biden wishes". "Isn't Asia a bridge too far for Europe, its interests and its capacity for projection?" Asks the newspaper, worried to see the clash with Beijing "to take precedence over exchanges "and" sound the death knell for globalization ". Europeans and Americans, on the other hand, agreed to withdraw from Afghanistan by September 11 - a deadline that alarms Robert Gates. Former US Secretary of Defense warns, in
The New York Times
, that NATO cannot "turn its back on Afghanistan", because according to him, the advance of the Taliban in the country constitutes, in addition to a danger for the Afghans themselves, a geostrategic threat for the Westerners - in particular because the Taliban could, once in power, then turn to China, for assistance and recognition and, in return, offer it access to mineral resources and the transformation of Afghanistan into a link for the new road to silk, to Iran.
A word, to end, of the legislative elections of Saturday in Algeria, a poll marked by a record abstention rate. "An important step in the democratic process", however trumpets
El Moudjahid
this morning
, by presenting these elections as a stage in the construction of an Algerian state "free of any autocratic inclination". The official journal, which also announces the withdrawal of the accreditation of France 24, because of "the manifest and repeated hostility" of our channel against Algeria. After having shunned the presidential election in 2019 and the constitutional referendum in 2020, the Algerians have again turned away from the polls. The opposition newspaper
Liberté Algeria
reports a national "record" abstention rate, around 70%, according to official figures.
Since the announcement of these elections, the authorities have hardened the repression against the Hirak, the peaceful protest movement, which demands real democratic change in Algeria.
In Dilem's drawing, a journalist waits outside a polling station.
Nobody comes out.
"But where have the Algerians gone?" He asks himself.
"Here!", Answer the Algerian opponents, behind the bars of a prison.
