Israel Plans to Send Negotiation Delegation to Agree to Resume Gaza Ceasefire Talks

Israel agrees to resume Gaza ceasefire talks and plans to send a negotiation delegation on August 15.

The office of the Israeli prime minister issued a statement in the early hours of the 9th saying that Israel has agreed to resume Gaza ceasefire talks and plans to send a negotiation delegation on the 15th of this month.

The statement said that Israel will send a negotiation delegation to an undetermined location and finalize the details of the implementation of the framework agreement.

The leaders of Qatar, Egypt and the United States said in a joint statement on the evening of the 8th that the three leaders called on Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to resume talks in Doha or Cairo on the 15th to bridge all remaining differences and immediately begin implementing the agreement.

Since the outbreak of the new round of the Palestine-Israel conflict on October 7 last year, Israel and Hamas have held multiple rounds of talks. There has been no progress since the two sides reached a brief ceasefire and exchanged the release of some detained personnel in November last year.
