Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks face challenges over aid distribution as tensions rise between the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and U.N. regarding humanitarian assistance.

While Hamas does not oppose the entry of aid without UNRWA, it continues to insist on core demands related to reconstruction, military withdrawal, and the aid distribution mechanism.

Israeli officials have signaled they want the United Nations to remain the key avenue for humanitarian deliveries in Gaza, the deputy head of the World Food Programme said on Friday, noting the work of a controversial U.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it would send its negotiating team to Qatar, this after Hamas said it had issued a "positive response" to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire proposal.

The proposal for a 60-day ceasefire was presented by US President Donald Trump, who has been pushing hard for a deal to end the fighting in Gaza.
