It is now time to implement the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal without any delay, an EU official said on Friday.

The EU is prepared to redeploy a monitoring mission to the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt after a ceasefire deal to end Israel's war in the territory, the bloc's top diplomat said Friday.

"It is now time to deliver this agreement for all hostages and their families, the people of Gaza, and the people of the region," said the E.U. foreign policy chief.

The EU said Thursday it would deliver 120 million euros ($123 million) in new aid for war-torn Gaza, a day after the announcement of a ceasefire and hostage release deal.The European Commission, the EU's executive arm,

The European Union is in talks to revive a civilian mission to monitor the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt at Rafah following the announcement of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

Israel's Cabinet has approved the Gaza ceasefire deal that would pause the fighting and release dozens of hostages held by militants, along with Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. The approval came early on Saturday after a marathon session by the full Cabinet.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country’s security cabinet would meet to approve the deal on Friday.
