Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and the United States have broken down, with both the US and Israel withdrawing their negotiating teams and accusing Hamas of acting in bad faith.
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have signaled a shift toward considering 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages and end Hamas's rule in Gaza. The breakdown comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis, with reports of starvation and severe food shortages in Gaza. US envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump have publicly blamed Hamas for the failure of talks, while Hamas claims Israel rejected key proposals.
The collapse of talks marks a major setback for diplomatic efforts and raises fears of further escalation and suffering in Gaza.
