24.12.2025The Day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Narrative Update
On December 24, Palestinian media attention centered on the release of Hamas's second formal narrative regarding 'Al-Aqsa Flood,' an editorial pivot aimed at reclaiming the historical discourse as the Gaza ceasefire reached a critical juncture. Morning coverage was dominated by the intersection of humanitarian distress—specifically the flooding of displaced persons' tents in Rafah—and the approval of 1,200 new settlement units in Beit El, continuing the expansionist trend noted in previous days.
By early afternoon, editors focused on a vehicle explosion in Rafah; while Israeli officials alleged a ceasefire violation, Palestinian outlets prioritized Hamas’s counter-claim that the blast involved unexploded Israeli ordnance in an area under military control. Simultaneously, domestic reporting highlighted escalating friction within the Palestinian Authority, as President Abbas defended the cancellation of prisoner and martyr stipends under the guise of 'national reform,' sparking widespread protests across the West Bank.
The evening headlines shifted toward the diplomatic maneuvering of President Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, who reportedly signaled a timeline for a second phase of the Gaza truce, even as Palestinian editors documented ongoing military strikes in Khan Younis and Rafah.
