The United States, led by President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, has cut short its participation in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, citing a lack of 'good faith' and cooperation from Hamas.
Despite weeks of talks in Qatar and meetings with Israeli and Qatari officials in Europe, the US is bringing its negotiating team home, expressing frustration over Hamas' unwillingness to reach a deal. The talks aimed to secure a 60-day truce, facilitate humanitarian aid, and arrange the release of hostages. Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the US had hoped for a breakthrough, but progress has stalled.
The US says it will now consider alternative options to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
