On May 1, Palestinian editors focused on Iran's dramatic accusations against six Arab states for complicity in the war, and the US defense of Israel's seizure of the Gaza flotilla. Early headlines highlighted the Pentagon's acknowledgment that Iran retains part of its naval fleet in the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting Trump's claims. By mid-morning, Iran threatened a 'painful' response while Washington considered military options. In the afternoon, Iran proposed new negotiations via Pakistan, but Trump expressed dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Hezbollah drone attacks killed an Israeli soldier amid Israeli air raids on south Lebanon. Leaked maps showed Israeli control over two-thirds of Gaza. The day also saw ongoing settler attacks, a Christian nun assaulted in Jerusalem, and a poll showing Netanyahu no longer seen as most fit to lead.
