The morning began with editors focusing on nationalist leader Devlet Bahçeli’s proposal for President Erdoğan to chair a 'Gaza Peace Board' and the aftermath of the Syria-SDF integration. Editorial priorities quickly shifted to domestic security as a major narcotics operation resulted in 641 arrests, including high-profile media figures. By early afternoon, headlines were dominated by a 'flag provocation' in Nusaybin during a DEM Party march toward the Syrian border. Outlets across the spectrum reported on the attempted lowering of the Turkish flag, triggering swift condemnation from the Ministry of Defense and Justice Ministry, which launched an immediate investigation. Simultaneously, regional focus intensified following U.S. statements that the anti-Daesh mission with the SDF had 'largely expired,' signaling a withdrawal of support for Kurdish forces. The evening concluded with the TBMM extending the TSK’s mandate in the Gulf of Aden and reports of an upcoming 'important call' between Trump and Erdoğan to discuss the shifting Syrian landscape.
