Italian newspapers began the day covering Putin's warnings from Beijing to Europe and Trump's openness to US air support for Ukraine. The escalating Gaza conflict was a significant focus, with reports of Israeli forces advancing into Gaza City, high casualties, and Israel's rejection of a temporary truce. By late morning, attention shifted to the China summit, where Putin, Xi, and Modi met, emphasizing collaboration and a stronger Global South. A major new development emerged in the afternoon: President Trump's detailed plan to offer financial incentives for Palestinians to leave Gaza, proposing it as a "resort" or US-controlled "tech pole." This became a dominant headline, alongside reports of Israel's desire for West Bank sovereignty. Concurrently, a diplomatic clash erupted as France accused Italy of "fiscal dumping," an allegation vehemently denied by Italian officials, becoming a prominent domestic and European story into the evening.
