Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his government is considering new options for negotiations with Hamas, following a pause in ceasefire talks mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. While mediators insist the break is temporary, uncertainty remains over when discussions will resume, as both Israel and the United States have withdrawn their teams, citing a lack of progress.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with growing hunger and limited aid access pushing the region closer to famine. Aid organizations and several countries have called for an end to the conflict, while Jordan prepares to airdrop food supplies into Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have caused further civilian casualties, deepening the crisis for displaced Palestinians.

Negotiations have stalled over key issues, including the terms for ending the war and the release of hostages. While some progress has been reported, major disagreements persist, particularly regarding the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the future of Hamas' rule in Gaza. Families of hostages continue to endure uncertainty as talks remain in limbo.
