Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have hit a standstill as Israel recalls its negotiating team for further consultations after receiving a new response from Hamas.
Both sides are reviewing each other's latest proposals, with food aid distribution and control over Gaza territory emerging as key sticking points. Mediators and international actors, including the US, are urging for a breakthrough as starvation and humanitarian concerns worsen in Gaza.

The situation is further complicated by demands for a permanent ceasefire and the release of hostages.
