UK media opened with Donald Trump's call for Israel to cease bombing Gaza after Hamas agreed to parts of a peace deal and hostage release. Concurrently, concerns about antisemitism in Britain continued following the Manchester synagogue attack, with planned Palestine Action rallies sparking debate. By late morning and early afternoon, reporting shifted to the pro-Palestine rallies proceeding despite calls for cancellation, with initial arrests being made. Throughout the afternoon and evening, the number of arrests at these protests escalated significantly, with police emphasizing a message of "enough is enough." Netanyahu's hopes to announce hostage releases in the coming days also gained traction in later reports.
