Gaza Ceasefire Hangs in Balance: U.S. Envoy to the Rescue

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is poised to arrive in Israel to attempt salvaging deadlocked Gaza ceasefire negotiations and address a dire humanitarian crisis marked by famine escalation, warns a global hunger monitor.

Indirect talks in Doha failed, with disagreements persisting over Israel's military withdrawal. Meanwhile, global pressure mounts on Israel, as nations, including Canada, signal support for recognizing a Palestinian state.

Amidst heightened tensions and humanitarian concerns, ceasefire efforts see lukewarm progress, with international bodies and countries advocating for peaceful solutions while navigating complex geopolitical dynamics.
