Morning editorial attention was split between the domestic fallout of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s 55-page declassified testimony—viewed by right-wing outlets as exposing a failed military 'conception' and by liberal sources as a strategic blame-shift—and the formal opening of indirect US-Iran negotiations in Oman. Editors noted the high-stakes atmosphere as the USS Abraham Lincoln moved into strike range during the diplomatic launch. By early afternoon, reporting focused on the rapid conclusion of two initial rounds of talks in Muscat. Media highlighted the presence of the CENTCOM commander alongside US envoys Witkoff and Kushner, while Iranian officials signaled a willingness to discuss a nuclear-only 'freeze' despite rejecting demands to cap uranium enrichment or ballistic missile ranges. Simultaneously, a mass-casualty bus crash in Ramat Gan drew significant local coverage as the Shin Bet joined the investigation. Evening headlines focused on the deep rifts remaining after the first day of diplomacy, with reports of Iran demanding tangible sanction removal and Israeli skepticism regarding any potential agreement with the Trump administration.
