Washington's refusal for a second straight year to grant President Abbas a visa for the UN General Assembly dominated morning coverage, with the Foreign Ministry condemning the extension of sanctions on Palestinian officials. Attention then turned to Gaza, where health authorities reported five killed and 28 wounded in 24 hours of continued Israeli fire, including a strike south of Khan Younis and deaths from earlier wounds, following the Al-Saada tower collapse that left 21 dead.

In the West Bank, outlets tracked Israel's completion of tenders for 3,401 units in the E1 project to link Jerusalem with Maale Adumim, alongside settler attacks on homes and land in Barqa and Hebron, demolitions in Anata, and arrests including journalist Alaa al-Rimawi.

The death of detainee Moataz al-Atrash in Ofer and the police killing of a youth in Umm al-Fahm were also noted, as was Israel's claim to have killed two Hamas leaders.
