The day's dominant story was the Supreme Court hearing on establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre. In the morning, the hearing began with confrontations between bereaved families outside the court. The government argued it was not the time to investigate, drawing sharp rebuke from justices. The hearing was dramatically disrupted when protesters breached the courtroom, forcing judges to evacuate. After resuming, Justice Sohlberg proposed postponing the inquiry until after the elections, a suggestion supported by three other justices. Meanwhile, the US-Iran standoff escalated with Trump ordering the Navy to destroy mine-laying boats in the Strait of Hormuz, and Hezbollah violated the Lebanon ceasefire by firing rockets during White House talks.
