Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have reached a stalemate, with Israel recalling its negotiating team from Qatar after receiving a new response from Hamas.
Both sides are reviewing proposals, but disagreements remain over key issues such as the distribution of humanitarian aid and the extent of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. Mediators and international observers express frustration at the slow progress, while the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with reports of widespread starvation. Hostage families and the international community are increasingly concerned about the prolonged negotiations and the fate of captives.
Despite some officials calling the latest Hamas proposal 'workable,' a breakthrough remains elusive as both parties harden their positions.
