Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and international mediators have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their delegations from talks in Qatar.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of acting in bad faith and showing no real desire to reach a ceasefire, while Hamas insists it remains committed to negotiations. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen as diplomatic efforts stall, and the US is now considering 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages. Food aid distribution and control remain key sticking points in the talks.
The collapse of negotiations marks a significant setback for hopes of ending the conflict and alleviating Gaza's dire conditions.
