Egypt said 130,000 litres of diesel and four trucks of gas will be delivered daily to Gaza when the truce starts, and that 200 trucks of aid would enter Gaza daily.
"We all hope that this truce will lead to a chance to start a wider work to achieve a permanent truce."
"Control over northern Gaza is the first step of a long war, and we are preparing for the next stages," he added.
Israel launched its devastating invasion of Gaza after gunmen from Hamas burst across the border fence on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and seizing about 240 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel says Hamas fighters use residential and other civilian buildings, including hospitals, as cover - a charge that Hamas denies.
