Israeli police and the Shin Bet domestic security agency on Monday closed two Muslim charities suspected of channeling funds to finance "terror", a police statement said.
It identified the institutions as Muslim Women for al-Aqsa, in annexed east Jerusalem, and Al-Fajr in the Arab city of Nazareth in northern Israel.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday blasted Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu for "daring" to attend an anti-terror solidarity march in Paris, accusing him of leading "state terrorism" against the Palestinians.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited on Monday the kosher supermarket in eastern Paris where four Jews were killed by an Islamist gunman last week.

France turns its attention Monday to plugging security holes blamed for failing to prevent the deadliest terrorist attack on the country in half a century, after millions united in historic rallies.
In the biggest show of solidarity, in Paris, more than a million people mourned the victims of three days of terror that began with a massacre at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, and ended with 17 people dead.

The American creator of "Maus", a graphic novel about the Holocaust, has denounced the "hypocrisy" of U.S. media for refusing to republish the cartoons of Charlie Hebdo magazine, targeted in an Islamist attack last week.
Art Spiegelman said he "admires" Charlie Hebdo and thought the satirical magazine fulfilled its "mission" in 2006 by publishing a controversial caricature of Mohammed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he appreciated the "very firm position" taken by French leaders against "the new anti-Semitism and terrorism" in France.
He also thanked Lassana Bathily, the Muslim employee of a Jewish supermarket who saved several hostages during a jihadist attack on Friday.

For many in Israel, the deadly attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris was further evidence that France is becoming hostile territory for Jews and authorities are unable to protect them.
"I'm angry with French Jews. Why are they hesitating to pack their bags and come here? France has become a dangerous place for the Jews," said Manuel Allal, a 26-year-old French-Israeli sitting in an Internet cafe in Jerusalem.

Four French Jews killed during an Islamist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris are to be buried in Israel on Tuesday, community sources and the Israeli premier said.
