Morning editorial priorities were split between the aftermath of the Supreme Court's block on National Guard deployment to Chicago and the ongoing fallout from the Department of Justice's Epstein file release. While mainstream outlets highlighted President Trump’s mentions in the archive, conservative editors prioritized reports of a 'Trump Boom' following positive GDP data and the administration's maritime 'quarantine' of Venezuelan oil.
By mid-afternoon, the focus shifted to internal media conflicts, specifically a 'revolt' at CBS News over pulled '60 Minutes' segments and allegations of censorship. However, the evening headlines were dominated by a major disclosure from the Justice Department: the discovery of over one million additional documents related to the Epstein case. This revelation, paired with a request for a multi-week extension, reoriented the narrative toward administrative delays. The day concluded with reporting on President Trump’s Christmas Eve activities, including his NORAD Santa calls and a holiday message containing threats toward domestic political opponents.

Morning headlines were dominated by Eli Feldstein’s testimony, which for the first time explicitly named Prime Minister Netanyahu as the architect behind the classified intelligence leak to the Bild. This domestic crisis widened as Minister Amichai Chikli became the first cabinet member to break ranks, calling the 'Qatargate' revelations 'shocking' and demanding a full investigation.
By early afternoon, editorial focus shifted to the Knesset plenum, where the coalition passed a preliminary vote to establish a politically controlled inquiry into the October 7 failure. Media outlets highlighted the visceral protests of bereaved families in the gallery and the tactical absence of the Prime Minister during the vote. Simultaneously, a coalition rift emerged as Haredi parties threatened to withdraw support for Speaker Amir Ohana following his vote for civil marriage.
Evening reports focused on further allegations from Feldstein, claiming the PMO held incriminating footage to blackmail former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Editors also tracked a mission to smear Egypt via a fake Mossad agent and Iran’s accelerating missile reconstruction ahead of the Netanyahu-Trump summit.

The morning was dominated by a diplomatic rupture between Washington and Paris after the Trump administration imposed visa bans on former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton and four other officials for their roles in digital regulation.

By midday, the focus turned to security as Israeli airstrikes intensified across southern Lebanon, specifically targeting valleys in Iqlim al-Tuffah and Nabatieh.

On December 24, Palestinian media attention centered on the release of Hamas's second formal narrative regarding 'Al-Aqsa Flood,' an editorial pivot aimed at reclaiming the historical discourse as the Gaza ceasefire reached a critical juncture.
