Talks on a ceasefire and prisoner release in Qatar are on the verge of collapse as Israel refuses to give up control of the Philadelphi Corridor and refuses to lift its veto on the release of Palestinians sentenced to life imprisonment. Mediators are not pressuring Israel to advance the talks.
Hamas accuses Israel of wanting to continue the war and maintain control over the Netzarim and Philadelphia corridors. The group has rejected Israel's offer to install watchtowers as part of the agreement. Saudi Arabian television reported that the issue of control over the Philadelphia corridor remains an obstacle.

The Defense Minister stressed that a compromise on this issue is key to completing the negotiations.
