UK media extensively reported on the first phase of a Gaza peace deal throughout the day. Early morning reports from Donald Trump announced a historic agreement between Israel and Hamas, paving the way for hostage and prisoner releases. This development was consistently framed as a breakthrough by various outlets. By mid-morning, attention remained on the peace deal, with Israel announcing the ceasefire would begin that evening. Later in the afternoon, news continued to focus on the ceasefire, with President Trump hailing a "lasting peace." The evening culminated in reports of the Israeli cabinet signing off on the peace deal and its ratification, with Hamas declaring an end to the war. The release of all living hostages by Monday was also highlighted. Separately, the Madeleine McCann case reappeared in headlines as her sister spoke out against a "stalker."
