20.08.2025Streamer's Demise, Gaza's Intensification
French media's editorial focus on August 20 initially centered on Donald Trump's role in Ukraine peace efforts and the EU's adapting language. However, the day saw a significant shift, with the Gaza conflict dominating headlines as Israel approved a plan to conquer Gaza City and recalled 60,000 reservists. This escalated alongside a diplomatic crisis, sparked by Netanyahu's accusations of antisemitism against France, prompting a strong warning from President Macron against Israel's planned offensive, deeming it a "true disaster." Concurrently, the tragic death of streamer Jean Pormanove gained increasing and sustained attention throughout the day, prompting intense debate on violent online content, platform accountability (with Kick banning co-streamers), and regulatory bodies' capabilities. Other domestic developments included a record EuroMillions jackpot win and a fatal rockslide in Haute-Savoie.
