Blaming Hamas, U.S. and Israel Recall Teams From Gaza Truce Talks
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 25 – Negotiations ended over disputes about ceasefire terms and prisoner releases as Palestinians face severe starvation under blockade, with Hamas demanding release of 2,000 prisoners, officials said.
- On Thursday the United States withdrew its negotiators from Doha talks, while Israel recalled its team after Hamas's counter-proposal.
- Over disputes on prisoner numbers and ceasefire duration, talks reached an impasse.
- Deepening hunger in Gaza highlights the impact of the blockade, and Israeli forces have launched a ground offensive in Deir el-Balah.
- Both the United States and Israel blamed Hamas for the talks' collapse, and US envoy Steve Witkoff said Hamas showed 'lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza'.
- It’s unclear what alternative options the United States and Israel may consider following the collapse, and Israel's parliament starts a month-long recess next week.
