31.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the Two-Month Disarmament Ultimatum
โŒจMorning headlines were dominated by the emergence of a US-Israeli 'Day After' roadmap, specifically a reported agreement between Presidents Trump and Netanyahu imposing a two-month ultimatum for Hamas to disarm. Editorial focus framed this as the primary hurdle for transitioning to the second phase of the ceasefire, noting Hamas's immediate rejection of the demand as 'unacceptable.'
By early afternoon, the narrative shifted toward year-end demographic assessments for 2025. Outlets prioritized data from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, which reported a 10.6% population decrease in Gaza due to the conflict, contrasting this with reports of record-low population growth and a negative migration balance within Israel.
In the evening, the editorial priority pivoted to the imminent reopening of the Rafah crossing. Reports from both Hebrew and Palestinian sources confirmed a Trump-Netanyahu agreement to resume operations at the gate within days, appearing as a pragmatic concession alongside the continued banning of 37 international aid organizations from operating in 2026.
