The day was dominated by the Knesset's final approval of the law weakening the Attorney General's powers, passed 65-51 after a last-minute coalition crisis. Haredi MK Gafni threatened to withhold support unless kindergarten teacher salaries were raised; Netanyahu conceded, securing the votes. The law reduces the binding nature of the AG's opinions and allows separate government legal representation. Netanyahu was absent from the vote. Petitions were filed to the High Court.

Overnight and through the morning, the US-Iran conflict remained the top story, with a fourth night of airstrikes, Iranian retaliation against Gulf states and Jordan, and Trump's threats to target power plants and bridges. By afternoon, the US launched a new wave of daylight strikes, marking an escalation in tactics.

Earlier, the High Court froze the law halting arrests of Haredi draft evaders, hours after its passage. The IDF updated the cabinet that it controls 67-70% of the Gaza Strip, and progress was reported on pilot zones for withdrawal from Lebanon.
