- Israel continues military operations in Gaza while the 'Board of Peace' convenes, with Drop Site News framing the diplomatic body as 'cosplay[ing] diplomacy' while Israel 'once again ramps up killing,' per its headline.
- AP News reports a mass funeral in Gaza for more than 100 people whose bodies were recovered from a 2023 Israeli strike, a scene The Economist condensed as 'More "peace" and more funerals in Gaza.'
