Trump: Hamas Didn't Want to Make Deal on Cease-Fire, Hostage Exchange
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 25 – US cuts short ceasefire talks in Qatar, citing Hamas' unwillingness to meet terms for hostage release and a 60-day ceasefire, officials said.
- On Thursday, July 24, 2025, the United States and Israel withdrew their negotiating teams from Gaza ceasefire talks in Doha amid stalled negotiations with Hamas.
- The ceasefire talks bogged down over competing demands, with Hamas demanding a full Israeli withdrawal in exchange for releasing all hostages.
- U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff indicated that Hamas' recent actions reflected a lack of willingness to agree to a truce and criticized the group for being uncoordinated and not negotiating sincerely.
- Witkoff expressed that despite the mediators' significant attempts, Hamas seems uncooperative and lacks sincerity, prompting the U.S. to explore other strategies.
- The withdrawal implies a setback for ceasefire efforts amid worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where at least 85 Palestinians died accessing food recently.
