The US withdraws from the negotiations in Doha for the "lack of will" of Hamas to reach a truce in Gaza

The special envoy of the United States for the Middle East, Steve Witkoffhe has ordered the withdrawal of his Doha negotiator team for Hamas’s “lack of will” to achieve a truce in Gaza. This decision accompanies that of the Israeli delegation, which hours before leaving the capital of Qatar to carry out “additional consultations.”

“We have decided to bring our team back from Doha for consultations after Hamas’s last response, that clearly demonstrates his lack of will to reach a high fire in Gaza“Witkoff announced in a message in his X (formerly Twitter) account. In fact, he has assured that The mediators “have made a great effort”but Hamas “does not seem to be coordinated or act in good faith”, so they will consider “alternatives” to achieve the liberation of Israeli hostages.

The American envoy to end war has settled that “it is a shame that Hamas has acted so selfish. We are determined to seek the end of this conflict and a permanent peace in Gaza.”

For its part, the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin NetanyahuI had also announced the return of the Israeli delegation that was in Doha “in the light of the response that Hamas gave this morning” to the proposal on the table to continue in this country the consultations.

Sources close to the negotiations consulted by the Chain 12 From Israeli television they point out that Hamas has hardened positions in different friction points in negotiations: how many hostages will be released, the withdrawal lines of the Israel army or the presence of the American Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF) For the distribution of help in the enclave.

The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoththe most read in Israel, says that while the proposal on the table included the release of 125 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons with life imprisonment and 1,200 detainees after the attack of October 7, 2023, Hamas has come to ask that 150 and 2,000 be releasedin each case. Usually, the figure of prisoners to be released corresponds to the value that Islamists give to Israeli hostages that would leave the strip, which changes depending on characteristics such as their age or if they were active soldiers.

In addition, Hamas demands a clause in the agreement that prevents the fighting in Gaza from resuming after 60 days of truce that includes the proposal if during this period it is not possible to agree its transition to a high the final fire, as the Israeli newspaper ensures.

The current proposal collects that the parts the truce can be extended until they succeed.

However, Netanyahu has already threatened that if negotiations do not fruit for 60 days, Israel will resume the offensive, which has already claimed the lives of about 60,000 people in Gaza, including about 90 because of the attacks perpetrated during the last 24 hours.
