Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their negotiating teams from talks in Qatar.
US officials, including President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, accused Hamas of acting in bad faith and lacking coordination, while Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said alternative options are now being considered to secure the release of hostages. The collapse comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with aid groups warning of mass starvation due to ongoing blockades and limited access to food. Hamas has pushed back against the accusations, expressing surprise at the withdrawals and indicating talks may resume, but no breakthrough appears imminent.
The breakdown in talks raises further uncertainty for both the fate of hostages and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
