A variety of takes … from around the world:

President says rape claim is ‘media witch-hunt’ and vows not to quit (Scotsman, UK)

• And by “vow not to quit,” I mean to say, I am going to quit…

Israel’s president defends his reputation while offering to step aside (Knight-Ridder Washington Bureau )

• And by defending my reputation, I mean to say, I feel so good about who I am as a person, that I am going to step aside…

Katsav quits temporarily to fight rape claims (Irish Examiner, Ireland)

• “Quitting Temporarily” – sounds like an oxymoronic statement to me…

All the president’s men weren’t enough (Ha’aretz, Israel)

• To put humpty together again!

Overall, my vote for “Great coverage and photos” is on YNET NEWS
