Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the Gaza conflict have reached a critical impasse, with Israel recalling its negotiating team from Qatar after Hamas submitted a new response to the latest truce proposal.
Both sides have made partial concessions, but key sticking points remain, including control over humanitarian aid, the release of hostages, and the extent of Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. Mediators and international actors, including the US, are urging progress, warning that delays endanger hostages and worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where starvation is becoming a major concern. Despite the stalemate, officials suggest that the gaps between the parties are not insurmountable, and a deal could still be possible if both sides show flexibility.
The situation remains tense, with the fate of hostages and the civilian population hanging in the balance.
