Turkish media extensively covered the intensifying Israel-Gaza conflict, reporting on Turkey's decision to join an action plan against Israel, signaling a hardening official stance. Headlines condemned Israel's actions, citing accusations of using hunger as a weapon, targeting journalists, and alleged annexation plans. Concurrently, a significant domestic story emerged as the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) became the subject of a corruption probe, leading to arrest warrants for 25 suspects, including high-ranking officials. Forest fires continued to be a major concern, with new flammable material bans implemented in Istanbul and arrests made of arsonists, some with alleged FETÖ links. Politically, the main opposition CHP established conditions for its participation in the proposed "Solution Commission," demanding either a qualified majority or equal representation, refusing to be a "mannequin" in the "Terror-Free Turkey" process. Kazakhstan's President's visit was also highlighted.
