Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar have broken down, with both the United States and Israel recalling their negotiating teams.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of not acting in good faith and showing little desire to reach a ceasefire, while Israel is reviewing Hamas's latest response. The talks had aimed to secure a truce and the release of hostages, but disagreements over humanitarian aid and the terms of a permanent ceasefire remain unresolved. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with reports of starvation and blocked aid deliveries.
The US has signaled it may consider alternative options as diplomatic efforts stall.
