Overview

  • The United States and Israel withdrew their delegations from indirect ceasefire talks in Qatar after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Hamas lacked coordination and good faith.
  • Hamas rejects claims of bad faith and describes negotiations as paused, highlighting its proposals on humanitarian access, Israeli troop withdrawal and a permanent end to hostilities.
  • President Emmanuel Macron announced France will formally recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September to bolster a two-state framework.
  • France, the United Kingdom and Germany issued a joint statement demanding an immediate ceasefire, unimpeded aid deliveries and the resumption of political negotiations.
  • Under a near-total siege, Gaza endures catastrophic shortages of food, medicine and fuel that UN agencies warn have pushed civilians to the brink of famine.
