"Ceasefire Negotiations Stall as Gaza Braces for Ramadan"

Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Gaza appear to have stalled just days before the start of Ramadan, with no significant breakthroughs reported after two days of talks in Cairo. Israel declined to send a delegation to the latest round of negotiations, and international mediators have been pressuring Hamas to produce a list of hostages to be released as the first step in a phased ceasefire agreement. The US has also suggested that it was Hamas holding up the talks, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with child malnutrition soaring and a quarter of the population facing starvation.
