US President Donald Trump has withdrawn from ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, urging Israel to escalate its military offensive in Gaza. Just weeks after expressing optimism about a peace deal, Trump now blames Hamas for acting in bad faith.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says the air drops "might help" but notes that the "most vulnerable" in Gaza would still struggle to access essential supplies.

The United States is recalling its negotiating team from Doha, where talks on a ceasefire to end the war in Gaza have been taking place, with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff saying the latest response from Hamas “clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire.”
