Hamas has decided to skip the Qatar-hosted cease-fire discussions, expressing a loss of faith in the US mediation efforts in Gaza. The refusal comes amidst reports of Iranian hackers targeting the US election and Israel.
Meanwhile, Columbia University's president resigned following protests, and Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur was killed in Beirut, with Israel suspected. The tensions have escalated as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Hamas of hindering hostage releases, while Hamas leader Ahmed Haniyeh's death is blamed on Israel.
Despite the conflicts, Hamas insists its military leader, Mohammed Deif, is alive. The complexity of the cease-fire talks is magnified by issues like the Israeli presence in Gaza and prisoner releases.
Amidst all this, the State Department spokesperson emphasizes that the US does not view Hamas as a reliable negotiating entity. The developments in the region have prompted high-level briefings for US officials, including President Biden and Vice President Harris, on efforts to support Israel, de-escalate tensions, and the potential threats from Iran and Hamas.
