The day was dominated by the Knesset's first reading of the Basic Law on Torah Study, which passed 63-53 despite four coalition members opposing. The bill, seen as a deal between Netanyahu and Haredi parties, equates Torah study with military service and shields draft evaders from sanctions. The vote followed days of coalition tensions over Haredi conscription and overshadowed other developments.
Earlier, three murders within an hour—including the stabbing of Rabbi Amos Guetta in his Netanya yeshiva—highlighted a surge in violent crime. The suspect, a student, confessed and will undergo psychiatric evaluation.
On the diplomatic front, US-Iran technical talks in Doha concluded with a partial release of frozen Iranian funds, while Trump claimed progress on denuclearization. The High Court froze the appointment of Michael Rabello as State Comptroller, prompting coalition calls to defy the order.

The day was dominated by the Supreme Court's unanimous decision to annul the Knesset's election of State Comptroller Michael Rabilo due to a breach of voting secrecy, ordering a new vote. The ruling, reported across all outlets, sparked immediate political fallout: coalition figures debated compliance, with some calling to defy the court, while others signaled they would comply. The story overshadowed the 1,000-day commemorations of the October 7 massacre, which drew large protests in Tel Aviv demanding a state inquiry. In the evening, US warnings to Iran about potential Israeli assassinations of senior officials dominated headlines, reflecting ongoing regional tensions.

The day's dominant political story was Yuli Edelstein's announcement that he is leaving Likud for a 'new political path.' The news broke in the early afternoon and quickly became the lead item across outlets, with reports of advanced merger talks with Ayelet Shaked. The move was framed as a significant blow to Netanyahu, coming amid internal Likud tensions and a court ultimatum on party primaries.
Earlier, the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei dominated morning coverage, with millions attending and the IRGC commander appearing publicly for the first time since the war. Israeli media highlighted the absence of foreign heads of state and framed the event as a show of strength.
In the evening, Netanyahu's office announced a planned meeting with Trump in the US, while Ynet reported on alleged PMO manipulation of security assessments. Military service deferrals and Shin Bet's new role in Arab crime also received attention.

The day's dominant story was Donald Trump's remark that Netanyahu 'knows who the boss is,' ahead of a potential White House meeting. The quote, carried by nearly all outlets in the evening, followed earlier reports of a planned summit and framed the relationship in terms of hierarchy.
Earlier, coverage centered on the massive Tehran funeral for Khamenei, with crowds chanting 'Death to Israel' and the notable absence of his son Mojtaba, reportedly due to fears of Israeli assassination. This narrative of Iranian succession anxiety persisted throughout the day.
By afternoon, reports emerged that US-Iran nuclear talks would resume in Pakistan, while Israeli media highlighted internal Iranian power struggles and a West Bank settler attack. The Trump-Netanyahu dynamic, however, dominated the evening news cycle, overshadowing other developments.

The day was dominated by the government's unanimous decision to defy a High Court ruling on the Second Authority council, triggering a constitutional crisis. The story broke in the morning and escalated throughout the day, with multiple outlets reporting the government's refusal to recognize the court-ordered council. By afternoon, President Herzog condemned the move as a 'red line,' and the attorney general warned it undermined the rule of law. The government secretary later denied the decision called for non-compliance, but coalition figures celebrated the defiance. Opposition leaders accused the government of dismantling democracy. The crisis overshadowed other stories, including Khamenei's funeral, Iran's nuclear activity, and Netanyahu's Fox News interview rejecting Vance's claim that the US is Israel's only friend.

The day was dominated by Trump's arrival in Ankara for the NATO summit and his statement that he would consider selling F-35 jets to Turkey. The story broke in the morning with Trump's landing and escalated by early afternoon when, alongside Erdogan, he said Turkey had been 'loyal' and the sale was under consideration. Israeli media framed this as a direct threat to Israel's military edge, with Netanyahu issuing a sharp warning that such a deal would destabilize the Middle East. By evening, Netanyahu's CNN interview, where he called Erdogan an enemy and urged Trump not to proceed, became the central narrative, overshadowing other events.
Earlier, the High Court's warning that officials defying its rulings could lose immunity from lawsuits continued the constitutional crisis from previous days, with ministers retaliating by calling justices 'dictators.'
In the afternoon, the US revoked sanctions relief on Iranian oil after Iran attacked tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, a story that gained traction in the evening but remained secondary to the F-35 saga.
Late at night, leaked recordings of Shin Bet chief David Zini professing loyalty to the elected government while criticizing its management and the legal system surfaced, adding a new layer to the ongoing tensions between the branches of government.

The day was dominated by the rapid escalation between the US and Iran. Overnight, US strikes hit southern Iran in response to tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran retaliating against Bahrain and Kuwait. By morning, Trump declared the ceasefire 'over,' calling Iranians 'scum' and 'cancer,' and threatened further strikes. The story consumed all outlets, with repeated updates on explosions, Iranian threats, and Trump's rhetoric. A secondary constitutional crisis emerged as Justice Minister Levin called for defying a High Court ruling on the state comptroller election, but this was overshadowed. In the afternoon, Trump vowed to strike again tonight, and by evening, the US resumed attacks in southern Iran, with reports of explosions near Bandar Abbas. The day's editorial focus remained unwaveringly on the US-Iran military confrontation.

The day was dominated by a dramatic escalation in the US-Iran conflict. Overnight, the US struck 90 targets across Iran in a second wave of attacks, with Iran retaliating by firing missiles at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. By late morning, the confrontation widened: Iran launched 10 missiles toward Jordan, triggering sirens, while the US reportedly struck near the Bushehr nuclear plant. The US embassy in Jordan ordered citizens to shelter. Throughout the afternoon, editors focused on the regional spillover and Iran's threats to hit more US assets. By evening, reports of explosions across southeastern Iran emerged, though the US denied involvement. A secondary domestic story saw the coalition's Torah study bill watered down to a declarative statement, but it remained overshadowed by the military developments.
