Israel pulls negotiators back from Qatar after deadlock in talks

It looked apocalyptic from a distance. An Israeli airstrike on the Jabalia refugee camp in the far north of Gaza. And it looked even worse on the ground. More than 100 Palestinians were killed here, and many left missing under the rubble. MAN, JABALIA REFUGEE CAMP, GAZA, IRELAND You killed our children. Where are our children? Where is our money? Where are our homes? We want to live. We want to live in safety. As Hamas launched a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv, Israel's air, naval, and ground forces attacked more than 400 of what it called Hamas terror targets in Gaza. That included 50 strikes here in Han Yunis in southern Gaza, which was largely spared prior to the seven-day truce. We were sitting for lunch, and suddenly there was an airstrike targeting my house. Those people you have seen here were all at their own houses at the moment. This is a residential area, a home for children. Some two million Palestinians, almost the entire population of Gaza, are now crowded into the territory's southern half. Meantime, Israel said it was withdrawing its negotiators from the talks in Qatar, calling them a dead end, claiming Hamas reneged on its promise to release all women and children that it had kidnapped. We will continue the war until we achieve all its goals, and it's impossible to achieve those goals without the ground operation. The ground operation was necessary to bring the results until now, and it is necessary to bring the results moving forward. Hamas says Palestinian women and children are suffering the most in Gaza, accounting for 70 percent of those killed since the resumption of the war. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, at the COP28 climate summit, said there were too many civilian deaths. But there are also more discussions now on Gaza's future after the war, including an infrastructure rebuild and a government without Hamas. The Palestinian Authority security forces must be strengthened to eventually assume security responsibilities in Gaza. And at the Rafah crossing, around 100 humanitarian aid trucks did get into Gaza on Saturday, far more than the day before, but about half the number going in every day during the truce. And the Red Cross is warning that given the dire lack of food, fuel and shelter, the incoming aid might not make a difference. Andy Rozgin, TRT World.
