20.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Al-Aqsa Magnetic Cards
⌨On February 20, 2026, Palestinian editorial priority focused on the first Friday of Ramadan, specifically the Israeli imposition of 'magnetic cards' and strict permits for worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. By morning, outlets highlighted the contrast between the 80,000 people who reached the site and the heavy restrictions that prevented thousands more from entering.
Midday reporting shifted toward the 'Peace Council' summit outcomes, with leaked documents detailing plans for a U.S. military base in Gaza and a $115 billion reconstruction fund. Simultaneously, editors prioritized reports of a Lancet study estimating the Gaza death toll at 75,000, alongside continued ceasefire violations in eastern Gaza.
In the evening, the narrative was dominated by regional escalation. Headlines focused on President Trump’s 15-day ultimatum to Iran and reports of Israeli airstrikes on the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp and the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, which resulted in over a dozen casualties.
