Hamas has submitted a new response to mediators regarding a proposed ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza, but the reply has been met with disappointment and frustration from mediators and Israel.
While some sources describe the response as 'more positive' than previous ones, key sticking points remain, especially over humanitarian aid distribution and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. The ongoing negotiations, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, have yet to yield a breakthrough, with both sides blaming each other for the stalled talks. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with food shortages and civilian suffering intensifying after months of conflict.
The international community is closely watching, as hopes for a truce and hostage release hang in the balance.
