The United States has abruptly ended its latest round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Qatar, accusing Hamas of lacking 'good faith' and a genuine desire to reach an agreement.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, representing the Trump administration, has been shuttling between Europe and the Middle East, meeting with Israeli and Qatari officials in a bid to broker a 60-day truce, secure the release of hostages, and establish a humanitarian aid corridor into Gaza. Despite weeks of talks and mounting international pressure, a breakthrough remains elusive, with mediators now considering alternative strategies. The US maintains hope for progress, but the deadlock underscores the deep divisions and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The situation remains fluid as Witkoff prepares further diplomatic efforts in the region.
