Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Faces Delays Amid Political and Negotiation Hurdles

The tentative agreement includes a phased truce, hostage exchanges, and humanitarian aid but is stalled by disputes within Israel's government and with Hamas.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is negotiating with far-right coalition partners who oppose the ceasefire, threatening government stability.
  • The six-week truce involves Hamas releasing 33 hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from parts of Gaza.
  • Hamas and Israel are at odds over last-minute changes to the deal, including disagreements on prisoner releases and troop withdrawal specifics.
  • The deal, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., is seen as a potential first step toward ending the 15-month conflict but leaves Gaza's long-term governance unresolved.
  • Both sides face internal and external pressures, with Netanyahu's coalition at risk of collapse and Hamas grappling with weakened leadership and infrastructure.
