Trump attributed the failure of ceasefire talks to Hamas, while Witkoff suggested a reduced U.S. role due to Hamas’s perceived lack of desire for peace. Al-Rishq insisted that Hamas is negotiating responsibly and urged the U.S. to pressure Israel for genuine engagement. The complexity of negotiations continues without a formal agreement.
