The day's editorial focus shifted dramatically mid-morning with reports of a foiled assassination plot against Pope Francis in Trieste, leading to the arrest of a Turkish ISIS member. Concurrently, the Middle East conflict intensified as the Israeli army declared an end to humanitarian pauses in Gaza City, initiating military operations later in the day. Italy's Foreign Minister Tajani expressed openness to sanctioning violent Israeli settlers, while the US under President Trump revoked visas for Palestinian Authority officials, a move Abu Mazen deemed "illegal." In the ongoing Ukraine conflict, French President Macron issued an ultimatum, stating that if a summit between Putin and Zelensky wasn't reached by Monday, Putin would have outmaneuvered Trump. European discussions also continued regarding sending EU trainers to Ukraine. Late in the day, a US Appeals Court ruled many of Trump's tariffs largely illegal, a decision he vowed to appeal.
