Israeli officials stated Sunday night that they had accepted an Egyptian-brokered truce with Hamas, but would only send a delegation to Cairo on Monday if Hamas kept the peace overnight.
According to the officials, the decision was taken in accordance with Israel’s policy that it will not negotiate while under fire. Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at Israeli cities shortly before the 72-hour truce came into effect including a rocket which landed in open territory near Tel Aviv moments before the cease-fire's initiation at 12 a.m. 
Israeli government officials said that Hamas accepted the truce over a great deal of strain that included not only military pressure from Israel but also pressure from many in the Arab world, as well as people in Gaza who want to see the crisis end.http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Protective-Edge/Cease-fire-holds-as-Israeli-delegation-expected-in-Cairo-370717

The election takes him a step closer to what his opponents fear will be an increasingly authoritarian rule. Turkey’s prime minister for more than a decade, had won 52 percent of the vote, 13 points more than his closest rival and avoiding the need for a second round runoff.
Erdogan, who has been outspoken against Israel since it launched an offensive in Gaza, said in his victory speech that Turkey will be treating wounded Palestinians. He recently urged Turkey to push for Israel to be tried at an international criminal court if it kept up its assault on Gaza and accused the Jewish state of "surpassing Hitler" with its Gaza operation.
