(CNN) Plane debris found on a beach in northern Israel is very likely from crashed EgyptAir Flight 804, the Israeli Prime Minister's office said Thursday.

The debris was collected Thursday morning from the beach of Netanya, the statement said.

"It appears with very high probability that this is the debris of the Egyptian plane that blew up over the Mediterranean Sea a couple of months ago."

The statement did not specify what, exactly, was found. Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed relevant authorities to make contact with Egypt and to transfer the debris soon, "maybe even tomorrow," the statement said. France also notified, because the plane took off from its territory.

Pieces of the flight have emerged throughout the Mediterranean Sea since the May 19 crash. The Airbus A320 vanished from the radar, plunging into the eastern Mediterranean Sea en route from Paris to Cairo, killing all 66 people on board. The cause of the crash remains unknown.
