Witkoff criticized Hamas for lacking coordination and acting in bad faith, stating that the group&#8217;s demands, including increasing the number of Palestinian prisoners released for hostages, angered Israeli negotiators. A key sticking point remains Hamas&#8217;s insistence that all Israeli troops withdraw from Gaza before releasing hostages, while Israel refuses to pull back its forces at this time. as cease-fire hopes fade, Israel has recalled its negotiators. meanwhile,French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September,a move harshly condemned by Israeli officials who warn that such recognition would legitimize Hamas and jeopardize Israeli security.
