"Escalating Tensions in Gaza Threaten Ceasefire Ahead of Ramadan"

Hopes for a Gaza ceasefire ahead of Ramadan are faltering as Israel demands answers from Hamas on key issues and the fate of Israeli hostages, while Hamas insists on a full ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops. International pressure is mounting for a deal to alleviate the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with the US urging for immediate action to address the famine and provide aid. The situation is causing growing frustration in Washington and domestic pressure in Israel, as both sides face challenges in reaching a resolution before the start of Ramadan.
