The United States and Israel have pulled their negotiating teams from ceasefire talks in Qatar, citing Hamas's lack of 'good faith' and unwillingness to reach a deal.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of showing no real desire to end the fighting, while Israel is reviewing Hamas's latest response to a ceasefire proposal. The breakdown in negotiations comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with thousands of aid trucks unable to enter the territory. Mediators from Qatar and Egypt had hoped for progress, but the main sticking points remain the release of hostages and control over food aid.
The US says it is now considering 'alternative options' as diplomatic efforts stall.
