Gaza Ceasefire Talks Collapse as US and Israel Withdraw, Blaming Hamas for Stalled Negotiations

Ceasefire negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and international mediators in Qatar have broken down, with both the United States and Israel recalling their negotiating teams. US envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli officials accuse Hamas of not acting in good faith and showing little desire to reach a truce, while Hamas claims it has submitted a response and amendments to the latest proposal. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with reports of starvation and blocked aid deliveries as talks stall. The US is now considering 'alternative options' to secure the release of hostages and end the conflict. The breakdown marks a significant setback for diplomatic efforts to end the war and address the dire situation in Gaza.
