Both sides are accusing each other of the stalemate. Health officials said 10 people, including six children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike at a water distribution point in central Gaza.

It is noted that three weeks ago, Trump predicted that the ceasefire would come into effect "next week," which is the first week of July, coinciding with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House, with no agreement reached so far.

As Israel and Hamas move closer to a ceasefire agreement, Israel says it wants to maintain troops in a southern corridor of the Gaza Strip — a condition that could derail the talks.
