Netanyahu considers annexing Gaza parts if Hamas rejects ceasefire, amid US exit from talks.

Israeli PM Netanyahu is considering annexing parts of Gaza if Hamas does not agree to a ceasefire plan. This comes after US envoy Steve Witkoff said the US was ending ceasefire talks in Qatar, accusing Hamas of not negotiating in good faith. Hamas has countered by saying the US and Israel are not acting in good faith. The move to annex Gaza is also seen as a way for Netanyahu to keep the far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in the coalition government.
