Israel and Palestinian leaders agreed to extend the Gaza truce for another 24 hours minutes before the ceasefire was due to end on Monday night, reports Aljazeera.
Both Palestinian and Israeli officials have welcomed the ceasefire extension as a positive way to bolster the talks in Cairo.
A Palestinian official said that little progress had been made on discussions regarding opening up ports and allowing the free flow of goods into Gaza.
The Israeli Justice Minister, Tzipi Livni said that Israel would continue to hold fire as long as Hamas did the same.
