Israeli media extensively covered violent settler protests in Binyamin, where an IDF security facility was vandalized and torched in the morning. This escalated into a major domestic crisis, with the Shin Bet investigating, and top political and military officials condemning the "violent and anarchic" actions, while the Chief of Staff warned of anarchy. Concurrently, Gaza war discussions persisted, with Hamas rejecting Israeli demands, leading to stalled ceasefire talks. Military officials, however, asserted the IDF neared Hamas's breaking point, advocating against a premature ceasefire. By late afternoon, a significant political development emerged as Gadi Eisenkot announced his resignation from the National Unity Camp and the Knesset, becoming a dominant headline. Discussions on a potential Netanyahu visit to Washington for a Gaza deal also gained prominence towards the evening.
