After Hamas political bureau leader Haniyeh was killed in an attack in Tehran, the Iranian capital, in July, the Iranian authorities said the attack was carried out by Israel and vowed to retaliate, sparking international concerns about the escalation of the situation in the Middle East. According to a US media report on August 8, since Israel has now agreed to resume ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, Iran is considering canceling its plan to retaliate against Israel in exchange for a smooth ceasefire negotiation.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office issued a statement in the early morning of August 9, saying that Israel has agreed to send a delegation on August 15 to resume ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip based on the proposals of the mediating parties such as the United States, Qatar and Egypt. The Israeli delegation will go to the agreed location on the 15th to finalize the details of the implementation of the framework agreement.

CNN published an article on the 8th Eastern Time, saying that Iran is considering canceling its retaliation against Israel in exchange for the smooth progress of the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. According to the Israeli Times on the 9th, Iran may give up attacking Israel and instead hold accountable "individuals it believes are responsible for Haniyeh's death."

According to CNN, US Secretary of State Blinken said that the United States and its allies have conveyed directly to Israel and Iran that "no one should escalate this conflict", and stressed that the ceasefire negotiations have entered the "final stage". The report also pointed out that after Haniyeh's death, Hamas sent a hard-line war figure, Sinwar, as the new leader, which may make the negotiations more difficult.
