"Following the proposal of the United States and mediators, Israel will on August 15 send a delegation of negotiators to the agreed place to conclude the details of implementing a deal," the office said in a statement.

In talks with his US counterpart Lloyd Austin, Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defence minister, "raised the importance of swiftly achieving an agreement" to return the hostages from Gaza, Israel's military said on Friday.

In a joint statement on Thursday, Egypt, Qatar, and the United States invited the Israeli government and Hamas to resume ceasefire talks next week in Doha or Cairo.

“We have called on both sides to resume urgent discussion on Thursday, August 15, in Doha or Cairo to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay,” read the statement signed by Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of Egypt, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar, and Joe Biden of the United States.

They have announced their readiness to offer a "final bridging proposal" to address any remaining issues related to the implementation of the deal in a way that "meets the expectations of all parties."

Egypt, along with the US and Qatar, has been mediating indirect talks between Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in the 10-month-old Israeli war on Gaza, which has killed and injured 120,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women, damaged most of the infrastructure, and displaced majority of the population.

In tandem, Egypt has been leading efforts to deliver aid to 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza who are facing near-starvation conditions due to a deadly Israeli blockade on the strip.
