Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have reached a critical impasse, with mediators expressing frustration over what they call 'unacceptable' new demands from Hamas.
The main sticking points include control and distribution of food aid in Gaza, the release of hostages, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. While some progress has been reported, both sides remain divided on key issues, and mediators warn that the talks could collapse if Hamas does not provide a more constructive response. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with reports of starvation and mounting pressure on all parties to reach an agreement.
International mediators, including the US, Egypt, and Qatar, continue to push for a breakthrough, but a lasting truce remains elusive.
