Indirect talks between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators aimed at finding a long-term solution to the conflict in Gaza have begun in Cairo, according to Egyptian state media.
The fresh discussions come amid a new three-day ceasefire agreed between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas.
A BBC reporter in Gaza says the truce is holding so far, with signs of normal life returning to the streets.
About 2000 people have died since the fighting in Gaza began on July 8.
Those killed include more than 1900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the UN.
Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the fighting and three civilians in Israel have also died.
On Friday, Israeli negotiators had left Cairo after failing to agree a deal with their Palestinian counterparts. But the Israeli delegation arrived back in Egypt’s capital on Monday after agreeing to resume talks as long as the 72-hour ceasefire, which began at midnight (21:00 GMT Sunday) held.
