Ceasefire talks in turmoil as Hamas responds to proposal

Talks to bring about a ceasefire and hostage deal that could stop the war in Gaza were thrown into doubt Tuesday evening when Israel characterized a Hamas response to the latest proposal as a rejection, precipitating a blame game between the two sides.

Hamas had submitted its response to Qatari mediators, proposing amendments to the Israeli proposal, including a timeline for a permanent ceasefire and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a source with knowledge of the talks told CNN earlier on Tuesday.

Talks are expected continue via the Qatari and Egyptian mediators in coordination with the United States to see if an agreement can be reached, the source added.

It seems like the ceasefire negotiations are hitting some bumps with Hamas' response to the proposal. Hamas always keeps everyone guessing, don't they? Let's hope they can find some common ground soon for the sake of peace.

I think it's concerning to see ceasefire talks facing challenges, especially considering the impact on civilians in conflict-affected areas. Though, dialogue and negotiation remain crucial for achieving lasting peace and stability.

It's sad to see ceasefire talks facing obstacles during such important negotiations. Finding common ground is essential for peace in Gaza.
