Gaza ceasefire talks fail to break deadlock, humanitarian aid in deep trouble

Wang Yijun

The new round of ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip has failed to break the deadlock, as Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have been arguing over a number of issues. While Israel is participating in the ceasefire negotiations, it continues to attack the Gaza Strip and has issued evacuation orders to people in many areas, greatly hindering humanitarian aid. Humanitarian aid in Gaza is in deep trouble.

Hamas accuses the United States of "lying"

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the White House National Security Council, denied on the 26th that this round of negotiations had broken down, saying that the negotiations were "constructive."

He said that the ceasefire negotiations held in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, are still progressing, and low-level working groups between Israel and Hamas will negotiate on issues such as ceasefire and release of detained persons within a few days, involving details such as the identity, number and frequency of released persons.

Tahir Nunu, a senior member of Hamas, said in an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera on the 26th that the US's remarks on the progress of ceasefire negotiations were inconsistent with the facts and were aimed at "supporting the claims of the occupying party." The day before, Hamas also issued a statement refuting the claim that a ceasefire agreement was about to be reached.

Two sources from Egypt, one of the mediating parties in the negotiations, revealed on the 25th that Israel has reservations about Hamas's demand to release several Palestinian prisoners.
