On July 14, a leading figure of the Islamist Hamas movement, Ismail Haniyeh, announced that the group was withdrawing from talks on a ceasefire in Gaza because of Israel's "massacres" and its attitude during the negotiations.
Mr Haniyeh said Hamas would "suspend negotiations due to (Israel's) lack of seriousness, continued policy of delay and obstruction and ongoing massacres of unarmed civilians".
On July 13, Mr. Haniyeh called mediators and other countries to urge them to pressure Israel to stop its attacks.
Another Hamas official insisted the movement's military commander Mohammed Deif was safe and working despite a massive Israeli bomb attack on a camp in southern Gaza that they said targeted the wanted Hamas commander.
The attack on Hamas leader Mohammed Deif in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, which killed at least 71 people, was carried out in the movement’s isolated area, most of whom were Hamas militants, Israeli military officials said on July 13.
In a related development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Netanyahu spoke by phone with top defense officials after the attack on Hamas leader Mohammed Deif in Gaza.
