Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have hit a setback as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recalled Israel's negotiating delegation from Doha following Hamas's hardened demands. Hamas is now demanding the release of 200 Palestinians serving life sentences for murdering Israelis and an additional 2,000 Palestinians detained in Gaza after October 7, exceeding the previous mediator-backed framework. The negotiations are part of a proposed U.S.-backed deal involving a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of some 50 remaining Israeli hostages, a phased release of Palestinian prisoners, and expanded humanitarian aid to Gaza. The breakdown in negotiations has raised concerns among hostage families and highlighted the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with hundreds of thousands facing severe food insecurity.

The Israeli military has admitted that it never found proof that Hamas routinely stole aid provided by the United Nations, contradicting a key claim used by Israel to restrict food from entering Gaza.

The new system has been criticized by aid agencies and rights groups, who warn of 'mass starvation' in Gaza.
