Trump's morning statement about purchasing Gaza and preventing Palestinian return triggered immediate consequences. Hamas suspended the planned hostage release, though later kept "the door open" for negotiations. This development connected to previous days' Trump-Putin dialogue claims and shifting international alignments.
The Italian political sphere focused on two parallel institutional conflicts: the Perugia prosecutors opening an investigation into DIS classified information leaks, continuing the previous days' tension between intelligence services and judiciary, and Minister Santanchè's no-confidence vote, marked by conspicuous absences of coalition partners. While Meloni maintained alignment with Trump's international positions, internal coalition stress emerged over Salvini's push for tax amnesty.
The Day of Remembrance for foibe victims became another theater of institutional tension, with vandalism reports and competing narratives between right and left-wing sources dominating coverage.
