The US has been talking with Hamas through an American intermediary in Doha this week in hopes of brokering an Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to a source familiar with the matter, as US officials say President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s handling of the conflict.

Israel and Hamas have engaged in a new round of talks to end the war in Gaza, after Israel's military launched a major new offensive.

Israel warns its military operation will continue if the talks do not progress, while Hamas says the discussions are happening without "pre-conditions".
