The day's editorial focus shifted from the ongoing ceasefire violations and rising Gaza death toll (72,775) to a new diplomatic initiative. In the afternoon, Mladenov published a 15-point roadmap for Gaza's future, detailing gradual Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament, which Hamas rejected as adopting the Israeli narrative. This followed the conclusion of Fatah's internal elections and the deportation of the Global Sumud Flotilla activists. Earlier, editors highlighted the famine threat as bakeries faced shutdown due to fuel shortages, and UNRWA reported 125,000 skin infections. By evening, the roadmap dominated coverage, with multiple sources analyzing its implications.
