Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked, with mediators from Egypt and Qatar expressing frustration over what they call a 'disappointing' and 'unserious' response from Hamas to the latest truce proposal.
The main sticking points include control over food aid distribution, the release of hostages, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. Despite some progress and Israeli concessions, both sides continue to blame each other for the lack of a breakthrough. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with starvation and malnutrition deaths mounting as aid remains limited.
International pressure is growing for a resolution, but a lasting ceasefire remains elusive.
