The day's editorial priority shifted sharply in the afternoon when Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the US-backed Gaza peace plan that Hamas had accepted. Le Monde, BFMTV, and France TV Info led with this development, framing it as a major diplomatic rupture. Earlier, the morning had been dominated by the ongoing heatwave, with 13 to 22 departments under orange alert and the Golfech nuclear reactor shut down again. The Tour de France Femmes concluded with Demi Vollering's second victory, but this was overshadowed by the Gaza story. The Lyhanna case and magistrates' reports on sexual violence against minors continued to receive attention, as did wildfires in Lozère and the Drôme. François Bayrou's call for a centrist primary ahead of 2027 also surfaced in Le Figaro.
