The day was dominated by news of an alleged Israeli air attack targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar, reported widely by German media from the early afternoon. This development saw reports of explosions in Doha and immediate international criticism, alongside discussions on Qatar's role as a mediator. Domestically, a significant incident unfolded with the sabotage of Berlin's power supply by suspected left-extremists or anarchists, leading to widespread blackouts and prompting police investigations that continued into the evening. Concurrently, the deepening government crisis in France remained a key focus, culminating in the appointment of a new Prime Minister in the late afternoon. US President Trump's ongoing controversies, particularly the alleged letter to Jeffrey Epstein and his administration's migrant operations, also received continued attention.
