Following the collapse of ceasefire talks mediated by the US, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering annexing Gaza territory if Hamas doesn't agree to a truce. This comes after US Envoy Steve Witkoff declared Hamas was not negotiating in good faith, a claim echoed by Netanyahu. Hamas countered by accusing Israel and the US of bad faith, citing progress made before the talks' abrupt end. The situation remains tense, with both sides blaming the other for the breakdown in negotiations.
