The United States, Egypt and Qatar have called for Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations over a ceasefire and hostage-release deal.
The United States, Egypt and Qatar have released a joint statement calling for Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations over a ceasefire and hostage-release deal.
The statement said the three nations had forged a framework agreement that had "only the details of implementation left to conclude".
Israel said it would send negotiators to the proposed talks, which are pencilled in for August 15 in Doha or Cairo.
Hamas did not immediately respond.
The renewed diplomatic push will be seen as an attempt to stop regional tensions from spiralling out of control, after Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated last week.
Iran, blaming Israel, has vowed a response - though Israel has not commented directly on the killing.
In a joint statement, the three nations invited Israel and Hamas to restart talks on August 15 to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay.
