16.01.2025 โ‡ข The Day Ceasefire Crumbled Into Air
โŒจThe hopeful morning announcement of an Israel-Hamas ceasefire quickly dissolved as Netanyahu accused Hamas of making last-minute demands, delaying the security cabinet vote. While US officials maintained confidence in a Sunday implementation, Israeli strikes continued, with reported casualties mounting to over 70 in Gaza.

Domestic attention centered on weak GDP growth of 0.1%, prompting speculation about interest rate cuts. During Starmer's visit to Ukraine to sign a "100-year partnership," Russian drones struck Kyiv, underscoring regional tensions.

The death of actor Paul Danan at 46, hours before a scheduled court appearance on drug charges, dominated afternoon coverage. By evening, Israel's national security minister threatened resignation over the ceasefire terms, while new revelations emerged about local grooming gang inquiries focusing on cultural aspects.
