Egypt presented its proposals for a ceasefire on Monday, aimed at halting the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The ceasefire proposals aim to be in force by 0600 GMT on Tuesday, followed by a cessation in the violence by 12 hours later, and talks in Cairo within 48 hours, Egypt state media MENA reported.
An Israeli official said that the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will discuss the proposal with his cabinet on Tuesday, reported Reuters.
"We are not at the negotiations stage yet," an Egyptian official told Reuters.
"First the sides would cease fire and then each will send delegations to Egypt to discuss the terms," he added.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to fly to Cairo in order for discussions on the Gaza conflict, Al Jazeera reported.
