Mediators Push for Short Gaza Pause as Aid Bottlenecks Worsen

Qatari and Egyptian mediators circulated a shorter ceasefire proposal aimed at reopening aid corridors and restarting hostage exchanges after a broader framework stalled. UN officials warned that deliveries into northern Gaza remain far below emergency needs.

Diplomats said the revised proposal focuses on a narrower humanitarian window rather than a durable political breakthrough. Negotiators described the talks as difficult but still active.
