Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have hit a major roadblock as Hamas introduces new demands, particularly regarding humanitarian aid distribution and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire.
Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the US have expressed frustration, calling Hamas's latest response 'unacceptable' and refusing to deliver it to Israel. While some progress has been reported and most terms are agreed upon, the talks remain deadlocked over key issues such as the release of hostages and control of aid. Both sides blame each other for the impasse, with Israel insisting the war will not end until Hamas surrenders.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, increasing pressure for a breakthrough.
