The United States and Israel have pulled their negotiating teams from ceasefire talks in Qatar, citing a lack of 'good faith' and willingness to compromise from Hamas.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of showing no real desire to reach a ceasefire, while Israel recalled its delegation for consultations after receiving Hamas's latest response. The breakdown in negotiations comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with food aid and the release of hostages remaining key sticking points. Mediators had hoped for a breakthrough, but the impasse has led the US to consider 'alternative options' to resolve the crisis.
The collapse of talks raises fears of continued violence and deepening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
