Overview

  • The United States withdrew its Gaza ceasefire negotiating team from Qatar after deeming Hamas unwilling to show good faith in talks.
  • Previously brokered truces between Israel and Iran and between Israel and Syria continue on fragile terms with key provisions unresolved.
  • Russia’s offensive in Ukraine pressed on after Trump’s 50-day ultimatum for a peace deal expired without progress in lower-level talks in Istanbul.
  • Efforts to nail down a U.S.-Iran nuclear accord have stalled even as European powers prepare to reimpose sanctions if no agreement is reached by August.
  • Earlier U.S.-mediated deals in Africa (Rwanda-DRC) and South Asia (India-Pakistan) illustrate both the promise and pitfalls of Trump’s broader peacemaking agenda.
