While U.S., Qatari and Egyptian mediators “have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be coordinated or acting in good faith,” Trump envoy Steve Witkoff said.

US negotiators blamed Hamas for lacking "good faith" while dozens of countries, news outlets, and humanitarian organizations all urged Israel to allow aid into Gaza without delay.

Israel and the United States on Thursday pulled their diplomats back from negotiating a cease-fire with Hamas, setting back a potential end to the War in Gaza that was believed to be a real possibility just weeks ago.
