The United States and Israel have pulled their negotiating teams from ceasefire talks in Qatar, citing Hamas' unwillingness to negotiate in good faith.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of showing a 'lack of desire' to reach a ceasefire, prompting Washington to consider alternative strategies for securing the release of hostages and ending the conflict. The breakdown in talks comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with thousands of aid trucks unable to enter the territory. Both the US and Israel are now reassessing their approaches as the prospect of a negotiated truce appears increasingly remote.
The international community continues to express concern over the ongoing violence and humanitarian situation.
