Indian media prominently featured the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and the release of hostages throughout the day. Morning reports indicated seven hostages freed, with expectations for 13 more, coinciding with President Trump's arrival in Israel. By mid-morning, it was confirmed that all 20 Israeli hostages had been released, and Trump addressed the Israeli Parliament, receiving a standing ovation. His speech, celebrating the "historic dawn of a new Middle East," was interrupted by a Gaza-supporter who was subsequently removed. PM Modi welcomed the hostage release and supported Trump's peace efforts. Concurrently, legal proceedings against Lalu Yadav and his family in the IRCTC scam continued, with courts framing charges against them. Bihar election developments were also covered, including seat-sharing agreements and candidate lists.
