Deadlock Persists as Israel Demands Hamas Disarmament Before Gaza Withdrawal
Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked over conditions for ending the Gaza conflict, with Israel demanding Hamas's full disarmament before withdrawal, while Hamas ties disarmament to Israeli troop withdrawal. This impasse complicates diplomatic efforts, as both sides view conceding first as a security risk. Israel's political considerations, including upcoming elections and coalition pressures, further hinder compromise. The U.S. plays a key role but lacks full control over Israeli decisions, making progress uncertain amid ongoing violence and humanitarian challenges in Gaza.
