President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced that the United States is withdrawing its negotiating team from Qatar after recent responses from Hamas indicated a lack of willingness to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. Witkoff criticized Hamas for not acting in good faith and stated that the United States would now consider alternative options to secure the release of hostages and promote stability in Gaza. The talks, which have been ongoing for weeks, have failed to produce a breakthrough, with major disagreements remaining over the redeployment of Israeli troops and the terms for ending the war. Both the United States and Israel have recalled their negotiating teams, and the future of the ceasefire discussions remains uncertain as conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate.
