20.08.2025 โ‡ข Gaza City Offensive Commenced
โŒจDutch editorial attention on August 20 initially shifted from prior international diplomacy to domestic matters, particularly the Sail 2025 event dominating morning coverage alongside discussions on dual nationality and crack resurgence. Mid-morning saw a brief return to international reports concerning a potential Putin-Zelensky meeting, with skepticism prevailing despite Trump's optimism, extending themes from previous days regarding Ukraine's future. By early afternoon, the Sail 2025 spectacle, with its historic ships and related drone warnings, again captured prominent headlines. A major shift occurred late afternoon as multiple outlets reported Israel commencing an operation to take Gaza City, marking a significant reorientation of international focus. This new development on Gaza shared top billing with the ongoing Sail event into the evening, reflecting a dynamic editorial landscape.
