The day was dominated by two parallel stories. In the morning, Noam Bettan's second-place Eurovision finish was celebrated, with outlets highlighting the countries that awarded points to Israel and those that did not. By late morning, the focus shifted to Iran: Trump issued a 'calm before the storm' warning, and a drone strike attributed to Iran hit a UAE nuclear plant. Netanyahu and Trump spoke about renewing war with Iran, and the security cabinet convened. In the afternoon, the IDF warned of a severe manpower crisis, with shortages threatening operational capability. The ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants against five senior Israeli officials was also reported. The day ended with heightened US-Israeli readiness for potential strikes on Iran.
