The day was dominated by a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, announced by President Trump in the evening. Earlier, editors tracked Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, ordered by Netanyahu and Katz, and Hezbollah drone attacks killing Israeli soldiers. By afternoon, Iran suspended nuclear talks with Washington, threatening to close Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab over the Lebanon and Gaza escalations. In Gaza, the health system neared collapse as Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital partially shut down, and the death toll reached 72,941. Hamas attacked UN envoy Mladenov for 'carrying out Israeli instructions,' while Cairo prepared for revised truce talks. Settlement expansion continued with 2,721 new units approved, and a car-ramming near Bethlehem killed a Palestinian. The ceasefire announcement shifted the narrative, though Israeli media expressed concern over lost gains in Shaqif.

The day was shaped by Abu Obeida's evening statement that the occupation's 'bill remains open until paid in full,' a message carried across multiple outlets. Earlier, editors tracked the Knesset's preliminary vote to dissolve itself, paving the way for early elections, while Israeli strikes killed several in Gaza, including a strike on a vehicle in Deir al-Balah. By afternoon, Hamas declared readiness to hand over all governance domains in Gaza, including security, and denied accusations of obstructing the national committee. Settler violence continued with wheat fields burned near Hebron and land seizures east of Bethlehem. The day closed with Hamas carrying new proposals to Cairo talks, as the death toll in Gaza rose and May was reported as the deadliest month since early 2026.
