25.12.2025The Day of the Katz Settlement Commitment
Palestinian media coverage on December 25 was dominated by Defense Minister Katz’s explicit rejection of a Gaza withdrawal and his commitment to establishing permanent settlement nuclei in the north. This editorial focus followed morning reports of a pending Netanyahu-Trump meeting, which editors framed as the prerequisite for a second phase of the Gaza agreement.
By midday, attention shifted to Israeli military breaches of the current truce, specifically drone strikes in Beit Lahia and shelling along the 'Yellow Line' that resulted in fatalities. Simultaneously, editors highlighted the ideological hardening of the occupation through reports of planned Torah institutes in Gaza and the expansion of the Yitzhar settlement in the West Bank.
In the evening, the narrative incorporated a diplomatic dimension as outlets reported on the possibility of Turkish participation in an international force. This was contrasted with urgent reports of medical system collapses in Nuseirat and Gaza City due to fuel depletion.
