Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have reached a critical juncture after Hamas submitted a new proposal for a truce and hostage release.
Israeli officials have called the latest Hamas offer 'workable,' but have recalled their negotiating team from Qatar for further consultations, signaling that talks remain stalled. The main sticking points include control over humanitarian aid distribution and the conditions for a permanent ceasefire. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with reports of starvation among civilians and aid distribution delays.
Mediators remain hopeful that recent concessions could lead to a breakthrough, but both sides continue to blame each other for the lack of progress.
