Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will send a delegation of negotiators to Cairo tomorrow to discuss "continuing the implementation of the first phase of the agreement" on the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, his office said.

"Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the negotiating delegation to travel to Cairo tomorrow to discuss the continuation of the implementation of the first phase of the agreement. After the government meeting scheduled for tomorrow, the team will receive instructions to continue negotiations for the second phase," the statement added.

The war could resume in early March if an agreement is not reached on the more complicated second phase of the ceasefire, which calls for the return of all remaining hostages and an indefinite extension of the ceasefire.
