On Thursday (local time), in addition to Israel, the United States retired from the negotiations -the fire, after indirect conversations had not made any progress. Special envoy Steve Witkoff blamed Hamas for the collapse and said that Washington would now consider “alternative options”.Witkoff did not accuse Hamas of acting in good faith “and stated that the United States brought his team home. He noted on social media that Hamas’ answer “clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefiring -fires in Gaza.”Washington stated that he would now consider “alternative options to take the hostages home and try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza,” he added. Qatarian mediators have facilitated indirect discussions between Israeli and Hamas representatives for more than two weeks. The goal was to establish a ceasefire -and to guarantee the release of Israeli hostages in the midst of the long -term conflict. Despite the remembering of negotiators from Doha, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his government is still ceasing -seeking fires while placing responsibility on Hamas for holding progress. “We are working on reaching another deal for the release of our hostages,” he said AFP. “But if Hamas interprets our willingness to reach a deal as a weakness, as an opportunity to dictate surrender conditions that would endanger the state of Israel, it is seriously mistaken,” he added. After submitting Hamas from his response to the last proposal, Israel said that his negotiators would return for consultation. A Palestinian source close to the conversations showed that the reaction of Hamas proposed changes in the field of auxiliary input, military withdrawal zones and guarantees for a permanent stopping of hostilities. While the conversations are collapsing, international concern about the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. More than two million Palestinians are confronted with serious deficits, with growing warnings for widespread malnutrition. The World Health Organization has called the food crisis ‘made by man’, while France blamed it for the ‘blockade’ of Israel. Israel rejects the indictment and claims that Hamas is blocking the help distribution of the aid and accuses international organizations of not collecting available supplies.

President Emmanuel Macron said that the move reflects an urgent need “to end the war in Gaza and to save the civilian population.” More than 140 countries already recognize the Palestinian state, despite opposition from Israel and the US. The recognition of France will be the most prominent approval of a European power. Palestinian vice-president Hussein Al-Sheikh welcomed the decision and called the support for “self-determination and the creation of our independent state”. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced an “emergency call” with France and Germany to tackle Gaza’s humanitarian situation. “We will discuss what we can do urgently to stop killing and getting people the food they desperately need,” Starmer explained. “A ceasefire will put us on a road to the recognition of a Palestinian state and a two-state solution that guarantees peace and safety for Palestinians and Israelis,” he added. During the 21 -month conflict, both parties were adhered to fixed positions, so that temporary trucrs do not become permanent. Israel is insisting on dismantling the military and administrative presence of Hamas, while Hamas demanding a permanent -the FIRE, full Israeli withdrawal and unimportant auxiliary access.
