Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to meet with Israeli and Qatari officials as the Trump administration works to secure a deal to end the war in Gaza.

Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, is returning to the United States without securing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

"The flexibility and constructive approach shown by Israel in the negotiations are not matched by Hamas,” the official said. Israel has made "significant strides" in its efforts to reach a hostage deal;

President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff ended the Israel -Hamas ceasefire and hostage talks early in Doha, Qatar, on Thursday, accusing the Palestinian terrorist group of acting selfishly during this week’s negotiations.

The chief Hamas negotiator is Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas official based in Qatar. He served as a deputy to Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who helped plot the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

The U.S. has withdrawn from Doha ceasefire talks after Hamas' response showed a "lack of desire" for an agreement. Israel also pulled negotiators amid escalating demands.
