The day's editorial focus initially centered on the receding Putin-Zelensky summit and Italy's offer of demining assistance to Ukraine. Early reports also covered an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raid on Nasser hospital in Gaza, with initial casualty figures around 15-24 deaths, including journalists. As the day progressed, the Gaza story intensified, with confirmed figures of 20 dead, including five journalists, drawing international condemnation from the UN and Vatican Secretary of State. Concurrently, Donald Trump's statements on Ukraine gained prominence. He declared the US would cease funding Kyiv, labeled Zelensky a "great salesman," and confirmed new talks with Putin. This evolving stance on Ukraine aid, following earlier discussions about Europe's role and US involvement, became a dominant narrative by late afternoon and evening.
