Hamas has officially submitted its response to the latest Gaza ceasefire and hostage release proposal, following intense negotiations mediated by Qatar and Egypt.
The talks have centered on key issues such as the distribution of food aid, the release of hostages, and guarantees for a lasting ceasefire. While some mediators and Israeli officials have described Hamas's response as more positive, others have called it disappointing and insufficient, with new demands and amendments stalling progress. Both sides continue to blame each other for the lack of a breakthrough, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and international pressure mounts for an agreement.
Despite narrowing gaps on several contentious points, a final deal remains elusive, with negotiations ongoing.
