Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and international mediators in Qatar have broken down, with both the United States and Israel recalling their negotiating teams.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of acting in 'bad faith' and lacking a genuine desire to reach a ceasefire, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen. The US announced it is now considering 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages and address the situation. Hamas, for its part, claims it remains committed to negotiations but blames Israel for stalling.
The collapse of talks marks a significant setback for diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and alleviate Gaza's dire humanitarian conditions.
