Gabi Ashkenazi: "Hamas ... is a restraining factor.."

Via the PULSE, here

"Israel's Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazi, reported on Hamas' recent behavior and said, "Since Operation Cast Lead, Hamas has not taken any action against Israel, and is a restraining factor. There is a significant decrease in the fire.

It is true that there is activity by rogue organizations along the fence, but Hamas tries to stop them."

Arik Bender reported in Ma'ariv:

He said that it was in Hamas's interest to rehabilitate the Gaza Strip and to break the Israeli siege. However, he noted that the situation in the Gaza Strip was still unstable. "We still can't say that the current reality will continue over time, and therefore we are preparing for every scenario."
