The Israeli media was dominated by a multi-faceted political crisis. Haredi parties escalated their threats over the military conscription bill, culminating in Degel HaTorah's official withdrawal from the coalition by late afternoon. Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately engaged in urgent talks, with reports indicating a last-minute effort to present a draft law and avert government collapse. Concurrently, the Attorney General intensified her confrontation with the government, refusing to attend her dismissal hearing, labeling it a sham. Separately, initial optimism grew for Gaza hostage-ceasefire negotiations, with reports of renewed flexibility. However, the day concluded with tragic news as three Israeli armored soldiers were killed in a tank explosion in northern Gaza's Jabalia, drawing immediate and widespread attention.
