Israel withdrew its negotiators from Qatar, blaming the failure to reach a hostage deal with Hamas on a UN Security Council resolution that called for a ceasefire during Ramadan in Gaza.

Hamas officials said on Monday that the Palestinian movement is still seeking to reach a hostage agreement that includes a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a position that Israel has repeatedly rejected.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement, "Hamas' position clearly shows its absolute lack of interest in a negotiated agreement and attests to the damage caused by the UN Security Council resolution."

The statement from Netanyahu’s office added: “Hamas has once again rejected the American settlement proposal and repeated its extreme demands: an immediate halt to the war, the complete withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip, and keeping its administration in place so that it can repeat the October 7 massacre as it promised to do over and over again.” .

The United States rejected the claim that the Security Council resolution was responsible. State Department spokesman Matt Miller said Netanyahu's position was "inaccurate in almost every respect, and unfair to the hostages and their families." He said that Hamas prepared the statement before the Security Council resolution was issued.

Netanyahu and other Israeli officials are angry with the United States for not blocking the Security Council resolution. The United States abstained from voting, but it had previously used its veto power against three resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The United States downplayed the importance of the resolution, saying it was "non-binding" and would not affect Israeli military operations. The United Nations and other member states have disputed the US claim, saying the resolution is binding and must be followed.

In response to the United States not vetoing the resolution, Netanyahu canceled a delegation to the United States that was supposed to discuss Israeli plans to attack Rafah. Despite the disagreement, there is no indication that the United States will change its policy of unconditional military support for the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
