U.S. Leaves Gaza Ceasefire Talks, Says Hamas Doesn't Want to End Fighting
(Politico) Felicia Schwartz - The U.S. is pulling out of talks for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, as it believes Hamas isn't negotiating seriously, special envoy Steve Witkoff said Thursday. He said the group's latest response in the talks in Doha illustrated its unwillingness to end the fighting. "Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith," Witkoff said. "We will now consider alternative options to bring the hostages home and try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza. It is a shame that Hamas has acted in this selfish way. We are resolute in seeking an end to this conflict and a permanent peace in Gaza."
