Editors led with Israel's acceleration of 3,400 settlement units in East Jerusalem and a new settlement near Umm Tuba, framing it as a pre-election push. By morning, the demolition of martyr Farouq Ramadan's home in Nablus and settler attacks on farmers in al-Mughayyir dominated. The afternoon saw a sharp escalation in Qusra, where settlers besieged three homes, cutting water and electricity, prompting the army to declare the area a closed military zone. Ceasefire violations in Gaza continued, with the death toll reaching 73,387 and 1,259 killed since the truce began. Political developments included Abbas's visit to Turkey, Hamas's call for voter registration, and a Damascus court sentencing Bashar al-Assad to death. The day's editorial focus remained on settlement expansion and the Qusra siege, overshadowing diplomatic maneuvers.
