The day was dominated by a wildcat strike at Ben Gurion Airport, which halted check-in and landings during peak travel season. The strike began in the morning, causing chaos and leading to a temporary halt of arrivals. By early afternoon, an agreement was reached to resume operations gradually from 15:00, but disruptions continued into the evening. Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the expulsion of workers' committee head Pinchas Idan from Likud. Concurrently, the High Court unanimously struck down the government's decision to close Army Radio, a blow to the coalition. Tensions with Turkey over Syria also featured, with Israel's ambassador to the US saying Turkey crossed a red line.
