Negotiations with Israel pointless while Gaza faces famine and genocide, says Hamas

Hamas has declared that further negotiations with Israel are futile amidst the ongoing famine and what they describe as genocide in Gaza. Khalil al-Hayya, a top Hamas official, stated that Israel is using negotiations as a stalling tactic to intensify their military actions. He emphasized that the entry of food and medicine is needed for negotiations to continue. Israel withdrew its negotiating team from Doha despite Hamas issuing what it called a constructive response to the latest ceasefire framework.
