The day began with reports on lawyer Rezan Epözdemir's arrest and associated legal details, continuing a focus from previous days. By mid-morning, a significant political realignment emerged as Aydın Mayor Özlem Çerçioğlu resigned from CHP, soon confirmed to have joined the AK Party along with several other mayors, announced by President Erdoğan in the early afternoon. Simultaneously, a major domestic political scandal ignited with CHP leader Özgür Özel's allegations against AKP's Mücahit Birinci concerning bribery and coercion, prompting an immediate investigation and a counter-lawsuit from President Erdoğan, intensifying political confrontation. As the day concluded, Turkish media also highlighted the nation's strong diplomatic response, condemning Israel's West Bank plans as a threat to peace.
