Hamas links truce talks to aiding Gaza as Israel abandons 'partial deals'

Hamas has made resolving the humanitarian crisis in Gaza a precondition for resuming ceasefire negotiations, stating that talks are futile while Israel maintains its blockade. The group declared it would only re-engage once aid reaches those in need and the famine ends. Meanwhile, Israeli sources indicate a move away from partial deals toward a comprehensive agreement that would likely demand Hamas's disarmament, a condition the group is expected to reject. This stalemate follows the recent withdrawal of the US and Israel from talks and reported tensions between Hamas and mediators like Qatar and Egypt.
