MOSCOW, August 8 (RIA Novosti) - Israel exits the negotiations on the conditions of ending the conflict in Gaza due to the Hamas’ renewing the attack, the spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister, Ofir Gendelman said Friday.

“Israel has informed Egypt that it is ready to extend the ceasefire for another 72 hours before Hamas has broken the ceasefire this morning. Israel will not participate in the talks under fire, it will act to protect its citizens,” Gendelman said.

The ceasefire between the two conflicting parties expired on Friday morning.

The Palestinian side explained their refusal to extend the ceasefire with the stalled Cairo talks and asked for the guarantees that their demands will be fulfilled.

On July 8, Israel launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip aiming to combat the rival Palestinian forces. Since then, the armed conflict has claimed lives of about 1,900 people on the Palestinian and 67 people on the Israeli side.
