Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump appeared on Friday to abandon Gaza ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, both saying it had become clear that the Palestinian militants did not want a deal.

President Trump spoke at a meeting in Scotland with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer about seeing images of starvation in Gaza amid Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's denial of the dire situation on Sunday.

Ismail Haniyeh led Hamas, the Palestinian group that runs Gaza, for over a decade. Hamas said he was killed in Tehran after attending the inauguration of Iran’s president.

Hamas said its political leader has been killed in an overnight strike in the Iranian capital Tehran, a major development that throws the war between Israel and the militant group into an unpredictable and dangerous new phase.

Iran’s supreme leader and representatives of Palestinian militias he backs prayed Thursday over the coffins of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and his bodyguard who were killed in a shocking assassination blamed on Israel that risked escalating into an all-out regional war.
