In other words, we went to Egypt after there was total cessation of all the violence and we'll not go back until the rockets stop because we are not going to negotiate and have rockets falling in Israel at the same time.
Mark Regev emphasizes that Israel will not engage in negotiations until all violence and rocket attacks cease.

Not the scope. The goal remains the same to stop those rockets coming in on Israeli cities and to prevent Hamas terrorists from infiltrating across the border through those tunnels trying to kill our people.
Frankly, we don't know. Israel is ready for an unconditional extension of the cease-fire. We've said so all along.
this is much larger than a hostage crisis. On early Wednesday morning when Hezbollah attacked Israel with a rocket barrage, crossed the border, shot up some of our soldiers, killed some, took others hostage, that was an act of war.
We had a chance yesterday to de-escalate. We tried that very seriously. Unfortunately, Hamas was not interested and just increase its attacks upon us.
