The day began with a Houthi missile launch from Yemen, intercepted without casualties, marking the first such attack since the recent Iran ceasefire. Simultaneously, Iran held mass funerals for 60 officials, rejecting international monitoring. Internal tensions escalated in Israel as West Bank settlers attacked IDF soldiers, prompting strong condemnation from military leadership and Netanyahu. As the day progressed, focus shifted decisively back to Gaza ceasefire efforts. Trump intensified pressure on Netanyahu for a deal, predicting progress within the week, while Qatar and Egypt expressed optimism. The IDF Chief of Staff signaled that the Gaza operation is nearing its objectives and exhaustion, warning political leadership about risks to hostages from continued ground maneuvers. This amplified calls from renewed hostage rallies for an immediate resolution, with families emphasizing severe suffering in captivity.
