Israeli negotiator Witkoff has withdrawn his team from the latest round of ceasefire talks, citing a lack of good faith from Hamas. Officials stated that the response from Hamas did not allow for progress, prompting consultations on possible next steps with mediators. Despite this setback, Israeli representatives stressed that negotiations remain ongoing and that their commitment to securing the release of all hostages has not changed. They expressed hope to return to negotiations in Doha if a path to resolving the current impasse can be found.
