Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have hit a major roadblock, with Israel recalling its negotiating team from Qatar after receiving a new response from Hamas.
While some Israeli officials have called the latest Hamas proposal 'workable,' others cite a lack of progress and accuse Hamas of hardening its stance. The main sticking points include control over humanitarian aid distribution and the extent of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. The ongoing deadlock has heightened concerns for the fate of hostages and the worsening humanitarian crisis, with reports of severe starvation in Gaza.
International mediators remain hopeful for a breakthrough, but both sides appear entrenched as the conflict drags on.
