US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has abruptly ended ceasefire negotiations in Doha, citing Hamas's lack of good faith and unwillingness to reach an agreement.
Despite weeks of talks involving Israeli and Qatari officials, no breakthrough was achieved on a Gaza ceasefire or hostage release deal. Witkoff and his team are returning to Washington to consider alternative strategies, though he may still travel to Europe and the Middle East for further discussions if progress is possible. The US is also working to establish a humanitarian aid corridor into Gaza.
The situation remains tense, with hopes for a ceasefire and humanitarian relief still uncertain.
