Three parties negotiated the truce (allegedly) - the Palestinians and the Israelis were the main parties; the Egyptians are not directly involved in the conflict, but they brokered a deal (allegedly) between the two main parties. The Egyptians brought the two sides together, or at least communicated with the two sides, and reached a ceasefire agreement.
