Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have reached a stalemate, with mediators expressing frustration over what they call 'unacceptable' new demands from Hamas.
The main sticking points include control and distribution of food aid in Gaza, the release of hostages, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire. While Israel has reportedly made some concessions, Hamas has responded with amendments and additional conditions, slowing progress. Mediators warn that the talks could collapse if Hamas does not provide a more serious response, while both sides continue to blame each other for the impasse.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with hundreds of aid trucks waiting for distribution and growing reports of starvation.
