The talks come as the Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains in the balance.
Donald Trump issued Hamas a "last warning" to release remaining hostages in Gaza, following unprecedented direct talks between a US envoy and the group in Doha, Qatar. Trump affirmed support for Israel to "finish the job" while the White House confirmed the US engagement with Hamas, the first since 1997, focused on hostage release and potentially ending the war. Israel was consulted on the talks, but no progress was made, though more talks are expected.
