That, and Qatar starting to take a harder stance on Hamas.
I think there is an indirect tie-in to a presidential change in the U.S. I think both sides in the conflict are a little uncertain how it will look and would rather try to settle it. The PA has also been cracking down on terrorists in their territory lately, which many assume is an attempt to show the incoming American president that they are worthy of taking over Gaza from Hamas.
