9:55Now PlayingHagar Chemali, Greenwich Media Strategies founder, breaks down the recent blow dealt to Gaza peace talks as Israel and the US withdrew their representatives from the negotiations. She also talks France's move to recognize a Palestinian state and why it may come too late to make an impact.
aza 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.
They made the decision after Israel studied Hamas’s latest response on Wednesday to a proposal for a 60-day truce. Israel and Hamas agree on the broad outlines: 10 living and and around 18 deceased hostages would be freed from Gaza during the ceasefire, and a yet-to-be-determined number of Palestinians in Israeli jails would be released. The sides would also negotiate a permanent end to the war.
Yet they disagree over the extent of the pullback of Israeli forces from territory in Gaza. In addition, Hamas — designated a terrorist organization by the US and European Union — has said it wants assurances Israel won’t restart the war.
“While the mediators have made a great effort, 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.”
