💨 Abstract

The U.S., through mediator Bishara Bahbah, has been engaging Hamas in Doha to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. President Trump is increasingly frustrated with Israel's handling of the conflict and seeks a quick end to the war. Trump has authorized direct talks with Hamas, bypassing intermediaries like Qatar and Egypt. The U.S. is also pressuring Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
