Gaza, Israel withdraws delegation from Doha talks: stalemate in ceasefire talks

Hostages’ families in revolt, negotiations stalled

Tel Aviv’s choice provoked harsh reactions from the families of the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. Negotiations, in fact, remain stalled.

Few bakeries reopen, but hunger remains
