The day opened with Trump's announcement of a halt to US strikes on Iran and talk of an 'outline of a deal,' dominating early headlines across Bild, Spiegel, and Zeit. By mid-morning, editorial focus shifted to domestic politics: the AfD's threat in eastern state elections and mounting criticism of CDU leader Merz's leadership, with RP Online and Berliner Zeitung questioning his trust and connection to reality. The Ceuta migration crisis, which had led previous days, remained prominent but secondary, as the death toll rose to 72 and diplomatic tensions between Spain and the EU intensified. Afternoon coverage returned to Ceuta's fragile calm and Moroccan manipulation, while evening reports highlighted the aftermath of the CSD attack and an AfD mayor's quiet governance in a small town.
