French media throughout the day prioritized the escalating violence in Marseille, specifically the assassination of Mehdi Kessaci. Initially, French media reported on the UN Security Council's adoption of a US resolution for Gaza, including an international force, with Donald Trump's role highlighted (BFMTV, Le Parisien, L'Express, France TV Info). Macron also convened a meeting on narcotrafic (Le Figaro). By early afternoon, the assassination of Mehdi Kessaci in Marseille was prominently covered, with the Interior Minister denouncing it as a "crime of intimidation" and a "point of bascule" (BFMTV, Le Monde, Le Parisien). Concerns about rising narcotrafic in Marseille continued to be a central focus for French media as the day progressed, drawing the attention of both the government and the President, who equated cocaine consumption to complicity (France TV Info).
