The investigation centers on alleged connections between Netanyahu's office and Qatar, which finances Hamas. Meanwhile, an IDF investigation into the October 7 battle at Kibbutz Alumim reveals that defense lines stabilized in the early hours thanks to local security forces, though tragic friendly fire incidents occurred, including the killing of a Nova festival escapee (Davar, INN, Kipa). Internationally, Trump has given Iran a 60-day deadline to reach a nuclear deal (Jerusalem Post, walla, Makor Rishon).
