Storyline: The United States has pulled its negotiating team from Gaza ceasefire talks in Qatar, with U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff declaring on Thursday that Hamas had failed to engage "in good faith," effectively suspending the latest round of diplomatic efforts to end the 22-month conflict. The withdrawal came shortly after Israel similarly recalled its delegation from Doha, with both nations coordinating their response to what they characterized as Hamas' unrealistic new demands. Hamas officials expressed surprise at the American accusations, issuing an early Friday statement that described their organization as having shown "responsible flexibility" throughout the negotiations. The group maintained it remains committed to reaching a "permanent ceasefire" agreement despite the current impasse. The Palestinian faction's latest proposal had included previously unreported conditions, including guarantees against Israeli military action after any 60-day truce period and the release of militants involved in the attacks on Israel on Oct 7, 2023.
