Hamas has submitted a new response to mediators regarding a proposed Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, which Israeli officials have described as 'workable.' The negotiations, involving the US, Egypt, and Qatar, have seen progress but remain stalled over key issues, particularly the distribution of humanitarian aid and the terms of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
The deepening hunger crisis in Gaza has intensified pressure on both sides to reach an agreement, with hundreds of aid trucks reportedly waiting for distribution amid disputes between Israel and the UN. Mediators and international actors are urging swift action, but both Israel and Hamas continue to blame each other for delays.
The situation remains tense, with hopes for a breakthrough tempered by ongoing disagreements and humanitarian concerns.
