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 Hamas insists it remains open to negotiations. The collapse comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza and growing international frustration. The US has stated it will now consider 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages and address the crisis.
The main sticking points include control over food aid and the terms of a permanent ceasefire.
