Wednesday’s front pages cover a variety of stories with no one story dominating the news cycle this morning. 

For some of the papers, the ongoing crisis in the Middle East leads the front pages, as Israel defies Western orders and invades Rafah – where more than 1 million people are sheltering. 

Some papers find space for the story that the Garrick Club has voted to allow women to join. Other domestic stories include pubs will be allowed to stay open later if England reach the semis of the upcoming Euros and the UK’s plans to keep children safe online. 

Many of Tuesday’s front pages cover the ongoing situation in the Middle East. The papers report on the ongoing ceasefire negotiations as Israel moves in on the Rafah crossing.

Talks are to resume in Cairo after Hamas said it would accept a deal drawn up by Egyptian mediators. It was however rejected by Israel as “far from meeting” its “core demands”.

The rest of the front pages cover a variety of domestic news and the back pages cover Manchester United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
