A Hamas representative in Lebanon said that a delegation from the Palestinian movement will not attend Thursday's attempt to restart ceasefire negotiations with Israel.

Ahmad Abdul Hadi, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, said Hamas has not received assurances that Israel would commit to negotiate on the basis of an earlier proposal dated July 2.

"We are not against the concept of negotiations and we were flexible in the previous rounds," he said in a statement to CBS News Tuesday. "But Netanyahu and his government rejected (the July 2nd proposal), put new conditions, they assassinated the head of our movement," referring to the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month. Haniyeh had been Hamas' lead negotiator in the talks to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

"Therefore, we won't participate" in the Aug. 15 talks, Abdul Hadi added, "and we will go back to square one."

Hamas said it is willing to meet with mediators after Thursday's talks in Qatar, if Israel gives what they call a "serious response," according to a diplomat briefed on the talks.

"We are serious on reaching an agreement as it is our responsibility towards our people to stop the massacres and the famine war the occupation is committing against our people," Abdul Hadi said.
