ArabNews (Saudi Arabia): Transport system in 6 Saudi cities set for major overhaul - The Kingdom wants to set up a good public transportation system. Apparently they spend billions of dollars on road accidents every year.
Lebanon Daily Star: Tensions high in Ain al-Hilweh after shooting - There have been several assassination attempts by various factions in this Palestinian refugee camp.
Haaretz (Israel): Israel court rules against evicting two East Jerusalem Palestinian families - There have been a number of cases of Palestinian families being forced out of their homes, as neighborhoods try to become more Jewish.
Turkish Daily News: Iraqi politics crack as last US troops withdraw - Iraq is already having (more) problems. Personally, I'm not sure if the country will survive. It was never a country to begin with, but a group of 3 provinces. It would not surprise me at all if the Kurds decide to leave, and the Shi'ite and Sunni sections also separate. Let's just hope it's not too bloody.
