Witkoff says US cutting short Gaza ceasefire talks over Hamas’s ‘lack of desire’

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said on Thursday the US is cutting short Gaza ceasefire talks and bringing home its negotiating team from Qatar for consultations after the latest response from Hamas “shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza”.
“While the mediators have made a great effort, Hamas does not appear to be co-ordinated or acting in good faith,” Mr Witkoff said.
