On September 29, French media's editorial focus began with the appeal trial for the Rio-Paris crash, involving Air France and Airbus, and the Moldovan legislative elections, which saw pro-European parties securing a majority amidst Russian interference claims.
Later, attention shifted to the updated cost report for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, estimated higher than anticipated, and the death of the minor suspect in the Bas-Rhin teacher stabbing case. Nicolas Sarkozy's condemnation and the financial prosecutor's assertion of no "hate to express" also received coverage.
The day concluded with extensive coverage of Donald Trump's efforts to secure a peace deal for Gaza alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, with Trump expressing confidence in an imminent agreement, including a ceasefire and gradual Israeli withdrawal. Emmanuel Macron urged Hamas to accept the plan, which Netanyahu publicly supported.
