A Palestinian official told the BBC that negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar in a new Qatar in Gaza and the hostage of the hostage were stopped three days after indirect talks.
The official said the main sticks included how to distribute aid while the ceasefire to the Israeli forces.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump insisted on having a “very good opportunity”, as a deal will be reached either this week or the next.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting the United States, said he wants a deal, “but not at any cost.” Hamas said that the ongoing talks were “difficult” because of the “stubbornness” of Israel.
The design of the dances between Trump and Netanyahu gave the impression that the momentum towards the ceasefire deal in Gaza is growing.
On Wednesday, Hamas said it had agreed to release 10 hostages as part of a deal. She said that many issues, such as the flow of aid, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the guarantee of a permanent ceasefire is still negotiating.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu said that he and Trump alike wanted to end the rule of Hamas in Gaza.
“President Trump wants a deal, but not at any cost. I want a deal, but not at any cost. Israel has security requirements and other requirements, and we are working together to try to achieve it,” he said.
Israel says that 50 hostages are still in captivity, up to 20 of them are still alive.
Earlier, the United States Special Envoy Steve Witkev said earlier that they are now “to” an “issue that has not been resolved in the indirect Israel-Husas talks in Qatar and was hoping for a 60-day ceasefire agreement by the end of this week.
However, it is unclear whether it has made a lot of progress so far during the four conversations rounds that occurred in Doha since Sunday.
A Palestinian official informed the negotiations to BBC on Wednesday that they had been stopped.
According to the official, the impasse is due to the refusal of the Israeli delegation to allow the entry of unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza through the United Nations agencies and other international organizations.
Israel was insisting on preserving what the official described as a “current humiliating mechanism” to distribute aid- in reference to the United States and Israel Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which uses private security contractors to bypass the United Nations.
The source also indicated that Israel continued to reject calls for the withdrawal of its forces from the Gaza areas that it occupied since March 18 – when Israel resumed its attack, another ceasefire collapsed – which increases the complexity of progress in the negotiations.
Qatar – which works as a mediator, along with the United States and Egypt – warned that more time is needed to make progress.
“I don’t think I can give any timetable at the present time, but I can now say that we will need a time for that,” said Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman in Qatar on Tuesday.
With talks aimed at providing a 21 -month -old war, they are surprising to face difficulties.
But it seems that the Trump administration is still optimistic at the present time, as Witkev is still going to go to Doha at some point in the coming days.
According to media reports, the current proposal will witness that Hamas received more than 28 hostages – 10 alive and 18 dead – in stages during a 60 -day ceasefire.
Large numbers of Palestinians of Israeli prisons will be launched in exchange for hostages.
There will also be an increase in delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
After the return of the first eight living hostages on the first day of the agreement, the Israeli forces will withdraw from parts of the north. After the seventh day, they left parts of the south.
On the tenth day, the enthusiasm of the hostages will be alive and their condition, while Israel will provide details about more than 2000 Ghazan held during the war.
Since these details are crushed in Doha, on the ground in Gaza, at least 20 people were killed in Israeli strikes during the night on a tent in the southern Khan Yunis area and at home in the Al -Shuti refugee camp, northwest of Gaza City, according to the civil defense agency in Hamas.
The Israeli army said it had struck a number of “Hamas terrorists” in Al -Shaati, who had advanced advanced attacks against their forces and Israeli civilians.
The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.
At least 57,575 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.
Most of the people of Gaza were displaced several times. More than 90 % of homes are estimated at damage or destruction; Healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems collapsed; There is a lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
