Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their negotiating teams.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of lacking good faith and a genuine desire to reach a ceasefire, while Israel echoed similar concerns and announced it is considering alternative options to secure the release of hostages. The collapse of talks comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with food scarcity and ongoing violence exacerbating the crisis. Despite the setback, some mediators and Hamas officials suggest that talks could resume next week, though significant obstacles remain.
The impasse raises doubts about the immediate prospects for peace and relief for civilians in Gaza.
