Gaza ceasefire talks were dealt a new blow on Thursday when the US and Israel withdrew their negotiating teams from Qatar, with the Trump administration saying Hamas is not acting in good faith.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his ceasefire negotiators will return to Israel from Qatar, a key mediator, for further consultations. Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, said the US was doing the same.
