Morning editorial priority centered on the cabinet's decision to reopen the Rafah crossing following U.S. pressure, despite the ongoing search for Ran Gvili's remains. Right-wing outlets framed this as a concession, while liberal media connected the government's current conduct to the findings of the Submarine Affair inquiry. Simultaneously, media tracked a domestic crisis as Haredi parties blocked the 2026 state budget over conscription law demands, leading Bezalel Smotrich to threaten the dissolution of the Knesset. By early afternoon, all coverage converged on the forensic identification and recovery of Ran Gvili’s body from a Gaza cemetery. Editors emphasized that for the first time since 2014, there are zero Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip. The evening narrative transitioned to a national ritual of mourning, detailing the 'Brave Heart' operation that utilized a captured militant's intelligence. Coverage concluded with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump coordinating a new 'disarmament-first' ultimatum for Gaza’s future.
