Peace talks aimed at ending the violence in Gaza are on the verge of collapsing.
A Palestinian delegation has threatened to walk out of discussions in Cairo unless the Israelis return to the negotiating table without conditions today.
"Within the next 24 hours, the delegation's presence in Egypt will be determined," said Abu Marzouk, the deputy chairman of Hamas' political bureau.
Smoke rises from the coastal side of the Gaza Strip after an Israeli strike Israel - whose delegation left Cairo after a 72-hour truce ended in bloodshed on Friday - has said it will not take part in talks while violence is ongoing.
The Palestinians blamed their decision to resume fire on Israel's refusal to end the blockade of Gaza and open a seaport.
Egyptian mediators have met separately with both sides at least three times this week.

The leaders called on Israel to exercise "restraint".
A Downing Street spokesman said: "They agreed that Israel has a right to defend itself but it should do so in a way that exercises restraint and Israeli forces must take utmost care to avoid civilian casualties.
"Both agreed that the priority must be to re-establish a ceasefire that paves the way for negotiations on a more lasting peace that allows both Israelis and Palestinians to live in safety alongside one another."
Abu Marzouk says the Palestinian delegation is ready to walk away The Israelis launched more than 30 air attacks in Gaza on Saturday, killing nine Palestinians, while militants continued to fire rockets into Israel.
A month after Israel launched its military campaign, nearly 1,900 Palestinians have been killed - mostly civilians.
Israel has lost 64 soldiers in combat, while three civilians have died from rocket fire into the country.
