Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and international mediators in Qatar have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their negotiating teams.
US envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of acting in bad faith and lacking a genuine desire to reach a ceasefire, while also suggesting the US will now consider 'alternative options' to resolve the crisis and secure the release of hostages. The talks' collapse comes amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza and growing international frustration. Hamas maintains it is willing to continue negotiations, but disputes over key issues, including control of food aid and the terms of a permanent ceasefire, remain unresolved.
The breakdown marks a significant setback for diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
