Talks between Israel and Hamas over a prisoner swap to free captured Israeli Gilad Shalit are effectively dead, a Hamas official in Beirut told TIME.

Through Egyptian and German mediators, Hamas and Israel are negotiating a prisoner swap in which Shalit would be returned in exchange for the release of more than 900 Palestinians held in Israeli jails, many of them convicted of terrorism. Israeli and Palestinian sources tell TIME that the deal now depends on resolving...
