Hamas has officially submitted its response to the latest Gaza ceasefire and hostage release proposal, raising hopes for a potential breakthrough in the ongoing conflict.
Mediators from Egypt and Qatar are pressing both sides to finalize a deal, but negotiations remain tense, with disagreements over aid distribution and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. Israel is reviewing Hamas's response, which some officials describe as more positive, though others call it disappointing or insufficient. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially the worsening hunger situation, adds urgency to the talks.
Despite some progress, key issues like the release of hostages and the terms of a lasting truce are still unresolved.
