One source tells ToI latest offer in Doha is 'workable,' but two senior officials quoted elsewhere argue Hamas is actually 'hardening positions' ahead of Dermer-Witkoff meeting

Israel is reviewing a revised response from Hamas to a proposed ceasefire and hostage-release deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Thursday, as Israeli air and ground strikes continued to pound the Gaza Strip.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff blames Hamas as Gaza ceasefire talks stall yet again, bringing no hope for Palestinian children who are "starving to death."

The Netherlands will ban two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country, declaring them “persona non grata,” in response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Gaza.

Hamas issued a scathing statement in which it rejected U.S. criticism of its handling of negotiations aimed at ending the nearly two-year-long war in Gaza.

Both Israel and Hamas are facing pressure at home and abroad to reach a deal following almost two years of war, with the humanitarian situation inside Gaza deteriorating.

In response to escalating international criticism and humanitarian concerns, the Israeli military has implemented a limited pause in fighting in Gaza's populated areas. This tactical move aims to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and alleviate famine conditions amid ongoing conflict and failed ceasefire negotiations with Hamas.

The U.S. has withdrawn from Doha ceasefire talks after Hamas' response showed a "lack of desire" for an agreement. Israel also pulled negotiators amid escalating demands.
