Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked, with mediators from Egypt and Qatar expressing frustration over what they call a 'disappointing' and 'unserious' response from Hamas to the latest truce proposal.
The main sticking points include control and distribution of food aid in Gaza, the release of hostages, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. Despite some progress and Israeli concessions, both sides continue to blame each other for the lack of a breakthrough, while the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens with reports of starvation and malnutrition. Mediators have demanded a more constructive response from Hamas, warning that time is running out for a deal.
The international community is closely watching, as hopes for an imminent ceasefire remain uncertain.
