Ceasefire Talks Stall as Israel Consults on Hamas Response
Israel and Hamas are talking about stopping the fighting in Gaza.
Israel brought its team home to discuss Hamas's reply to a possible deal.
Hamas wants to make sure the war doesn't start again if the truce ends in 60 days.
People in Gaza are very hungry, and everyone wants to find a solution.
They can't agree on how far Israel's soldiers should move back or how to get food and supplies to people.
Unfortunately, there have also been more airstrikes and violence, causing more harm.
Israel brought its delegation home from Gaza ceasefire talks to discuss Hamas's response.
Hamas's response included a request to prevent Israel from resuming the war if an agreement isn't reached within the 60-day truce.
Both sides face pressure to reach a deal amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions and widespread hunger in Gaza.
Disagreements remain, including the withdrawal of Israeli military and aid delivery terms.
Airstrikes and violence continue, with reported casualties in central and southern Gaza.
