A senior Hamas official told the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Mayadeen on Friday that the ceasefire-hostage deal negotiation talks in Qatar have failed, and the negotiations are on the verge of collapse - despite Axios reporting that Hamas had delivered a list of security prisoners it expects to be released as part of the prospective deal.

The official blamed the collapse of talks on Israel's refusal to accept the proposal of the countries mediating the disputed issues, such as the Philadelphi Corridor and the identity of the Palestinian prisoners to be released.

The latest development in the discussions, according to Axios, is that Hamas delivered through mediators a list of hundreds of security prisoners it would want to see released in exchange for 33 hostages over the age of 50 or in serious medical condition.

The Hamas-run ministry has also been repeatedly criticized for distorting casualty figures.

In May, departing from Hamas’s reported figures, the UN halved the number of women and children it had previously reported had been killed thus far in the war.
