Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and international mediators in Qatar have broken down, with both the US and Israel recalling their negotiating teams.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of acting in 'bad faith' and lacking the desire to reach a ceasefire, while Israel cited the need for consultations after Hamas submitted a new response to the latest proposal. The talks had aimed to secure a truce and the release of hostages, but disagreements over key issues—such as control of food aid and the terms of a permanent ceasefire—remain unresolved. Mediators expressed frustration, but some still hold out hope for a future deal if obstacles can be overcome.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate as fighting persists.
