The recent ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel have taken a turn for the worse as Qatar and Egypt threaten to expel Hamas leaders from their refuge in Doha if they do not agree to a ceasefire. These threats were reportedly made at the behest of the Biden administration, which is seeking a resolution to the conflict amidst political unrest.
However, Hamas leaders have rejected the proposed ceasefire deal, stating that it does not meet their conditions for ending the war. The Wall Street Journal reported that Qatari emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani was instructed to use measures to ensure Hamas accepts the deal, but officials have yet to receive a final response from the group.
Despite this setback, national security council spokesman John Kirby stated that while there have been public statements from Hamas, they are awaiting an official and decisive response from the organization. Efforts to broker a ceasefire continue amidst tensions and disagreements between the parties involved.
