UK media extensively covered the unfolding Gaza ceasefire throughout the day. Early reports confirmed Israel's approval of a peace deal, brokered by President Trump, which included a hostage release, with the US potentially deploying troops for peacekeeping.
The mid-morning brought widespread coverage of the Nobel Peace Prize announcement. Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado won, leading to numerous reports highlighting President Trump's "snub" despite his role in the Gaza ceasefire. The ceasefire itself was confirmed to be in effect, with initial reports of Palestinians beginning to return to northern Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu warned that Israeli troops would remain until Hamas disarmed.
In the afternoon, media continued to follow the return of Palestinians to Gaza and the ongoing discussion around Trump's involvement in the peace deal. Separately, the funeral of boxing legend Ricky Hatton received significant attention across various outlets.
