The United States and Israel have withdrawn their negotiating teams from ceasefire talks in Qatar, citing Hamas' unwillingness to negotiate in good faith.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 and said the US would now consider alternative options to secure the release of hostages and end 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 strategies as hopes for a negotiated truce fade.
The impasse raises concerns about the prospects for peace and the ongoing suffering of civilians in Gaza.
