The Palestinian delegation had said it was likely to abandon Egyptian-mediated talks on Sunday unless Israel agreed to return to the table without pre-conditions.
Israel has said it will not take part in truce talks while violence is ongoing.
Palestinian factions in Cairo for the negotiations declined to extend a 72-hour ceasefire that expired on Friday, saying Israel had refused to accept demands including an end to the blockade of Gaza and the opening of a seaport.

Israel accepts Egypt ceasefire proposal: Israeli official...
ReplyDeleteIsrael on Aug. 10 accepted an Egyptian proposal for a 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza, government officials said.
"Israel has accepted the Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire," an official told AFP shortly after a Palestinian source confirmed accepting the initiative which would see both sides halt fire from midnight (2100 GMT).
Earlier, a Palestinian official also confirmed that the factions had agreed the proposal.
Israel withdrew from truce negotiations in Cairo on Aug. 8, soon after the previous ceasefire ended in a firestorm of violence.
