Israeli media prominently featured President Trump's ultimatum to Hamas to respond to his Gaza peace plan within 3-4 days or face consequences. This development, evolving throughout the day, built on earlier reports of Netanyahu's agreement and Hamas's initial positive reception, as well as ongoing international mediation efforts involving Turkey and Qatar. Concurrently, Finance Minister Smotrich intensified his criticism of Netanyahu's acceptance of the plan, likening it to a dangerous "return to Oslo." In the late morning, a ramming and stabbing attack near Jerusalem's Tunnels Road injured two teenagers, one seriously, with the assailant neutralized by armed citizens. Later, the government unanimously approved David Zini's appointment as the new Shin Bet head amidst political and legal discussions.
