Deliberations are renewed in Cairo this morning, and Hamas is busy creating leverage in the negotiations.

The Al Jazeera Network showed a documentation in which it is shown, after the cease-fire, a tunnel, rocket launcher, shells and anti-tank missiles, which according to Hamas are ready for the possibility of renewed battles.  "We are on the line with Israel, we are prepared for anything. Our people look after us", said a Hamas activist in the report. The network reporter was seen yesterday, walking in a tunnel, which according to him, despite of Israel's operation, is still operating. "We have many more surprises", promise other activists in the report. "The resistance is ready".  It should be noted that although Israel has made it clear that it destroyed all of the terror tunnels know to it, it is clear to the security forces that Hamas still has many "administrative" tunnels, that do not infiltrate Israel, apparently this is one of them.  Since yesterday, Hamas has been busy spreading messages that if their demands within the negotiation in Egypt are not met – they will continue attacking Israel at the end of the 72 hour cease-fire. "There is no agreement to prolong the cease-fire", Hamas' Deputy Chief, Ismail Haniyeh, clarified yesterday, in response to reports that both parties have agreed to extend the truce.

Hamas official, Ismail Radwan, added "the truce has not been extended" until the organization hears Israel response to its list of demands. Meanwhile, the Military Wing of Hamas has issued a statement claiming that they are on standby to resume the attacks against Israel, at the end of the cease-fire, at 08:00 a.m. tomorrow.  "Israel is closely tracking the implementation of the cease-fire and we are prepared for a case in which it is violated", stated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, yesterday. "The IDF has reinforced ground forces to address any scenario. The forces, who were not there prior to the operation, will stay in the Gaza Envelope Settlements area, in order to give the residents there better protection. He also stressed that "the security of the residents in the area is much better and a lot safer than it was before the operation".

United States President, Barack Obama, called out tonight to lift the siege on Gaza with time. "In the long run there there should be an understanding that Gaza cannot sustain itself closed off from the world", said Obama. The American President also added that: "The United States' goal at this time, is to make sure the cease-fire lasts, but at the same time it's important to make sure that Gaza can start a rehabilitation process".
