US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has abruptly ended ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, citing a lack of 'good faith' and willingness to compromise from Hamas.
After weeks of fruitless talks in Doha, Witkoff announced the US delegation would return to Washington and consider alternative strategies to secure a ceasefire and hostage release. Despite hopes for progress, the talks failed to yield an agreement, with US officials expressing frustration over Hamas's response. Witkoff is expected to continue diplomatic efforts in Europe and the Middle East, meeting with Israeli and Qatari officials to explore new options.
The US remains committed to establishing a humanitarian aid corridor for Gaza and pursuing a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
