Another dead end in the hostage deal: Witkoff is sending the delegation back and said: “We have decided to return our team from Doha for consultations, following Hamas's latest response, which clearly shows a lack of genuine desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.
Despite the significant efforts of the mediators, it is clear that Hamas is not coordinated and is not acting in good faith.
We will now examine additional options to return the hostages and create greater stability for the residents of Gaza.
It is very regrettable that Hamas chose a selfish path over the welfare of the citizens.
Nevertheless, we are determined to put an end to this conflict and work towards achieving lasting peace in Gaza.”
