Ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel remain deadlocked, despite mounting international pressure and worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
Hamas has submitted its response to the latest truce proposal, but mediators from Egypt and Qatar have expressed frustration, calling the reply disappointing and insufficient. The main sticking points include the release of Israeli hostages, guarantees for a permanent ceasefire, and control over food aid distribution in Gaza. Israel insists on dismantling Hamas's military capabilities, while Hamas demands stronger assurances and changes to Israeli military deployment.
As starvation and suffering intensify in Gaza, both sides continue to blame each other for the lack of progress, leaving hopes for an imminent ceasefire uncertain.
