The day's dominant story was the dispute over reopening the Erez crossing for goods, with Netanyahu and Katz denying any directive, contradicting earlier reports of a planned opening in September. This internal Israeli disagreement was covered alongside continued ceasefire violations in Gaza, where at least four Palestinians were killed in strikes on tents and homes. In the West Bank, Israeli forces reinforced troops and issued administrative detention orders for 29 Palestinians, while settlers expanded outposts in areas under Palestinian Authority control. Media also highlighted the funeral of artist Suleiman Mansour and the launch of a campaign to protect Christian presence and church property.
