The day opened with US-Iran escalation dominating: Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz after American strikes, and Trump threatened to attack again. By mid-morning, editors shifted focus to Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza—new martyrs, injuries, and a US base on the border. In the afternoon, a resistance operation in Jenin wounded an Israeli officer, drawing praise from Hamas. The main editorial pivot came in the evening: Hamas announced national consensus in Cairo talks and tangible progress, while Trump abruptly canceled a planned strike on Iran, citing diplomatic advances. This dual development—diplomatic momentum in Cairo and de-escalation by Trump—reshaped the day's narrative, sidelining earlier military tensions.
