US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has abruptly ended ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, citing a lack of 'good faith' and willingness to compromise from Hamas.
Despite weeks of talks in Doha and planned meetings in Europe and the Middle East, no breakthrough was achieved on a Gaza ceasefire or hostage release deal. Witkoff announced the US delegation is returning home and will consider alternative options to address the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. The US had hoped to broker a 60-day ceasefire, including the release of hostages and Israeli withdrawal from parts of Gaza, but progress stalled.
The situation remains tense as diplomatic efforts shift and the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens.
