Gaza ceasefire talks face fresh uncertainty after US and Israeli negotiators withdrew from Doha. US envoy Steve Witkoff accused Hamas of lacking "desire to reach a ceasefire," while Israel cited the need for consultations. Hamas expressed surprise at the criticism, saying talks had not collapsed and Israel would return next week. The deadlock continues over key issues, including Israeli troop withdrawal and aid access. Protests erupted in Tel Aviv demanding hostage releases, as families warn time is running out. Meanwhile, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis worsens, with 48 malnutrition-related deaths in July and one in four children suffering from acute hunger, MSF reported. (PC: BBC)
