Israel recalls negotiators from Doha after Hamas increases demands for prisoner exchanges, creating a setback in ceasefire talks aimed at releasing hostages and delivering aid to Gaza

For the first time, Hamas is demanding the release of Nukhba terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre as part of a hostage deal. It also submitted a "withdrawal map" for IDF forces.

Hamas has been insisting on a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a complete end to the war before releasing all hostages. Meanwhile, Israel refuses to end the conflict unless Hamas gives up its weapons and control over Gaza — a demand Hamas rejects.

One of the amendments in Hamas' latest response has called for the exclusion of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) from participating in future aid distribution and delivery efforts, instead, relying on the previous mechanism led by the United Nations and other human rights organisations.

The demands focus primarily on altering the deployment of IDF forces in the Gaza Strip and modifying the mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid. According to the report, Hamas is demanding that IDF forces withdraw from population centers in Gaza and redeploy along the eastern and northern borders, no closer than 800 meters from the border.

President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff says the U.S. is cutting short Gaza ceasefire talks and bringing home its negotiating team from Qatar for consultations.

US President Donald Trump has voiced confidence that a ceasefire deal in Gaza could be agreed this week after Hamas announced that it had “submitted a positive response” to a proposal for a 60-day truce with Israel.
