British newspapers began reporting on a thwarted Iranian-backed terrorist plot, with special forces swooping on suspects who were allegedly hours away from attacking a UK synagogue. Security forces arrested seven Iranians in what was described as the "biggest counter-state threat in years."

VE Day celebrations quickly became the dominant narrative, with extensive coverage of King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate and their children appearing in public together on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The royal family's united front watched the Red Arrows flypast alongside thousands lining The Mall, effectively overshadowing Prince Harry's controversial BBC interview from previous days.

International focus remained on Israeli plans to expand operations in Gaza, with Netanyahu announcing the "intensive" offensive would include "moving the majority of the population" and establishing a "sustained presence" throughout Gaza.
