The day was dominated by Trump's abrupt cancellation of the planned US strike on Iran. Overnight, headlines reported Israel's assessment that Iran would fire missiles regardless of its involvement. At 02:24, Trump announced he had called off the attack at Tehran's request, claiming a deal was imminent to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the nuclear threat, with Israel's support. By morning, Iranian officials mocked the reversal and denied any agreement, insisting the strait remained closed. Israeli media highlighted frustration and surprise, with officials saying they were left in the dark for hours. Afternoon reports detailed Gulf divisions: the UAE pushed for strikes while Saudi Arabia urged restraint. Concurrently, Netanyahu's closed-door vow that Haredi draft dodgers would 'enlist or go to prison' sparked a coalition crisis, with coalition partners accusing him of cynicism. A wildfire near Beit Shemesh and Defense Minister Katz's televised replacement of the Central Command chief received secondary attention.
