Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have hit a standstill as Israel recalls its negotiating team for further consultations after receiving Hamas's latest response.
While some Israeli officials describe the new Hamas proposal as 'workable,' key disagreements remain over issues such as military withdrawal, prisoner exchanges, and the mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with UN agencies warning of widespread starvation and a collapsing aid system, despite hundreds of aid trucks waiting for distribution. Both sides face mounting international pressure to reach a deal, but mutual distrust and shifting demands have delayed progress.
Mediators remain hopeful for a breakthrough, but a final agreement is not yet imminent.
