The Egyptian official added that Cairo is hosting Israeli and American delegations to discuss the unresolved points in the Gaza truce agreement.
Egyptian consultations and communications have been ongoing with Hamas to reach the truce agreement and the exchange of detainees and prisoners, he noted.
Earlier Saturday, a Hamas official said the movement had given initial approval of a US-backed proposal for a phased ceasefire deal in Gaza, dropping a key demand that Israel give an up-front commitment to a complete end to the war.
On Friday, Israel said that "gaps" remained with Hamas on how to secure a Gaza ceasefire and captive release but that it will send a delegation for fresh talks with Qatari mediators this week.
Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US are strongly pushing for a deal that achieves a cessation of Israeli attacks in Gaza and facilitates exchanging dozens of captives still held by Hamas.
The latest round of truce talks, held in Cairo in early May, ended without reaching a deal.
There has been no truce in Gaza since a one-week pause in November saw 80 Israeli captives freed in return for 240 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
Israel, whose brutal war on Gaza has continued for more than nine months, is facing mounting international pressure to agree to a Gaza ceasefire
Since the war began on 7 October, Israeli occupation forces have killed 38,098 people, injured 87,705, caused extensive damage to Gaza's infrastructure, and displaced most of the strip’s residents.
