Conflict raged throughout Thursday as Palestinian militants fired rockets into Israel and the Israeli army maintained a barrage of air strikes.
More than 100 people have been killed in Gaza and seven have died in Israel.
Jewish and Israeli Arab mobs have also been fighting within Israel, prompting the president to warn of civil war.
Defence Minister Benny Gantz ordered a "massive reinforcement" of security forces to suppress the internal unrest, and more than 400 people were arrested.
How can both parties get back to the negotiating table?
Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban reports.
