Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, the US, and Hamas have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their delegations from talks in Qatar.
US envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of acting in 'bad faith' and showing no real desire to reach a ceasefire, while Israel is reviewing Hamas's latest response to a proposed deal. Mediators from Qatar and Egypt had hoped for progress, but the talks stalled over key issues such as control of food aid and the terms of a truce. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen, with thousands of aid trucks unable to enter the territory.
The US has announced it will consider 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages and end the conflict.
