Hamas has submitted a new proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza, which Israeli officials have described as 'workable' and are currently reviewing.
The negotiations, mediated by international actors, have been stalled for weeks but now show signs of progress, with both sides making concessions. Key sticking points remain, including control over humanitarian aid distribution and the extent of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with reports of widespread starvation and aid trucks stalled due to disagreements over distribution.
Despite ongoing violence, mediators are optimistic that a breakthrough could be reached soon if remaining obstacles are addressed.
