What's holding up the Gaza truce? Key dispute revealed
The dispute reportedly revolves around humanitarian aid distribution points, which are expected to remain under American oversight. This would allow food and supplies to be delivered to civilians in areas from which 'Israeli' forces withdraw, using mechanisms similar to those employed earlier in the aggression.
According to Hebrew media, the United States is pressuring both sides to finalize a deal by this Thursday. During his recent meeting with 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his intention to bring the Gaza war to an end.
Channel 13 quoted a senior 'Israeli' official as saying that Trump continues to apply pressure to reach a resolution, while cautious optimism surrounds the ongoing ceasefire negotiations being led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar.
Trump is expected to meet Netanyahu again at the White House to discuss the latest developments in the Doha talks, particularly regarding a potential truce and prisoner exchange. In recent remarks, Trump described the situation in Gaza as 'tragic,' stressing, 'We will resolve this conflict once and for all.'
Humanitarian aid mechanism remains a sticking point
"Israel's" Kan broadcaster reported that Qatar recently presented a new compromise text aimed at resolving one of the key disputes: how humanitarian aid will be distributed in Gaza.
One proposed formula suggests that all humanitarian and food aid would be distributed exclusively through the United Nations and its agencies, without the involvement of any other parties. However, sources say this is just one of several proposals and may not necessarily be included in the final agreement.
The aid mechanism remains a central unresolved issue and continues to delay progress toward a finalized ceasefire deal.

Hamas: After 640 Days of War, the Occupation Has Failed to Break Gaza's Will - Jordan News
Hamas declared on Tuesday that the military and political realities after 640 days of the Israeli war on Gaza have made it clear to the entire world that the occupation has utterly failed to break Gaza's will or subdue its resistance. اضافة اعلان In its statement, Hamas said the slogans of a 'crushing defeat' and the 'complete eradication' of the movement had collapsed in the face of explosive tunnels, complex resistance ambushes, and the illusion of freeing captives by force was shattered under relentless resistance strikes. The statement added that "Gideon" armored vehicles were burned in Beit Hanoun and Khan Younis, with their crews killed, while the resistance continues to fight bravely and with parity, despite hunger and siege, as the occupation continues to commit massacres against civilians and innocents. Hamas stressed that the resistance has forced Israel to admit its failure and the impossibility of simultaneously achieving the release of captives and defeating the resistance. It said the axes of Israeli incursion have turned into death traps, from which soldiers do not emerge unharmed. The group emphasized that Israel's persistent attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians and impose ethnic cleansing have been met with heroic steadfastness by the people, who resisted death, hunger, and bombardment, and rejected having their future dictated by intelligence rooms or political dictates. Hamas concluded by stating that this comprehensive failure — militarily, politically, and morally — exposes the falsehood of the Zionist propaganda machine, reaffirming that this battle was never just about weapons and rockets, but also a battle of consciousness, willpower, and resilience. Since October 7, 2023, Israel — with U.S. support — has waged what has been described as a genocide in Gaza, involving widespread killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, in defiance of international appeals and binding orders from the International Court of Justice to stop. The war has resulted in around 194,000 Palestinians killed or injured, most of them children and women, with over 11,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine claiming the lives of many — including children — amid widespread devastation.

I'm dissatisfied with the outcome of my call with Putin... We are not providing Ukraine with new weapons... We will provide Ukraine with a large amount of weapons for defense.'' Medvedev questioned: 'How are we supposed to deal with this? We will respond as we have before — in the same manner followed by our fighters and by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.' He concluded: 'With no reaction... We will continue to pursue the goals of the military operation in Ukraine, reclaim our territories, and fight until victory.'

Hamas: Netanyahu's remarks reflect psychological defeat
Hamas official Izzat Al-Risheq commented on 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements regarding the 'release of all hostages and Hamas' surrender,' saying that such remarks do not reflect the military reality, but rather 'the psychological defeat' of the 'Israel's' leadership. Risheq stated, 'The enemy's leaders' acknowledgment of their total failure to recover their captives through military operations indicates that the only solution to secure their release is through a serious deal with the resistance.' He added, 'Gaza will not surrender, and it is the resistance that will dictate the terms, just as it has imposed the equations on the ground.'
