Personally, I'd say this should mean 'negotiations ended'

Especially since we don't know if ANY of the hostages are still alive, last I heard.
"Israel made it clear that if Hamas agreed to commit to this point, Israel would agree to far-reaching compromises on the issue of the return of Palestinian residents to the northern Gaza Strip," but Hamas says that after six months of hellish captivity, 40 such hostages are no longer alive.
