The sixth prisoner exchange dominated morning coverage, with resistance groups in Khan Younis handing over three Israeli prisoners to the Red Cross. The exchange occurred against backdrop of intensifying regional diplomacy, with Jordan and 70 US organizations rejecting Trump's displacement proposals. President Abbas addressed the African Summit, explicitly opposing any "new Deal of the Century."
Military operations continued in the West Bank, with four Palestinians killed in Askar and Nur Shams camps. By evening, Israeli families accused Netanyahu's government of deliberately obstructing the exchange process. Egyptian mediators increased pressure to begin second-phase negotiations, while Israel pushed to accelerate remaining exchanges. Reports emerged of Israel seeking to release six living prisoners from Gaza in a single batch in exchange for allowing mobile homes entry.
The day concluded with protests across European capitals against displacement plans, while Lebanon reported casualties from Israeli strikes.
