Israel said on the 12th:Israel will send a negotiating delegation to participate in the Gaza Strip ceasefire talks to be held on August 15

Israeli government spokesman David Menser said on the 12th that according to the proposal of the United States and the mediator, Israel will send a negotiating delegation to participate in the negotiations on August 15. The reason for Israel to do so is to finalize the framework of the agreement and the implementation details. Israel hopes that the detained persons will be released and other goals of the war will be achieved at the same time.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement on the 11th saying that since the outbreak of the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Hamas has been hoping that the efforts of the mediators Egypt and Qatar will succeed. For this reason, it has participated in multiple rounds of negotiations and responded to Israel's proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of detained persons in early July. However, Israel subsequently proposed new conditions that had never been proposed during the entire negotiation process, and continued to attack the Gaza Strip and assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas Political Bureau, all of which confirmed Israel's intention to continue the war and its unwillingness to reach a ceasefire agreement. Even after the leaders of Qatar, Egypt and the United States called on Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations on the 15th on the 8th, the Israeli army still bombed a school in Gaza City on the 10th, killing more than 100 people.Hamas called on the mediators of the ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip to submit an implementation plan based on relevant UN Security Council resolutions and previous consultations and force Israel to implement it, rather than conducting more negotiations or making new proposals to provide cover for Israel's attacks.

In a joint statement late on the 8th, the leaders of the United States, Qatar and Egypt called on Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations on the 15th in Doha, the capital of Qatar, or Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to bridge all remaining differences and begin to implement the agreement.
