President Trump has indicated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will proceed, though he conceded that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"Hamas is gathering them currently," Trump stated, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They are in very difficult locations."

President Trump, who has been commended by the group and various Israeli figures for his role in securing a peace accord, expressed he is confident the agreement will "remain in place" because "the parties are tired of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, the president plans to convene international leaders for a high-level meeting on Gaza during his visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt in the coming week. Participants slated to participate are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

As per information, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president confirmed that he would engage with a "lot of leaders" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to discuss the direction of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also travel to Israel, where he will address the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of Palestinians headed back to the largely ruined northern Gaza on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. The remaining 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them believed to be alive—will be freed by next Monday.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the region as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if the organization will disarm, as called for in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who called off a halt in fighting in spring, suggested that Israel might renew its operations if they does not relinquish its arms.
• The UN was given the green light by Israeli authorities to start providing scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip from this Sunday. This assistance will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as aid workers expected permission from the army to restart their efforts.
• An official the spokesman reported to journalists on last Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and other critical materials have begun moving through the crossing point. Agency staff are calling for authorities to unseal further entry points and provide safe movement for relief personnel and civilians who are returning to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun condemned the Israeli government on Saturday for executing nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the ministry said killed at least one person. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," he remarked.
• The government provided a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to release as under the truce deal made with Hamas. Of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be released in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when representatives of the group provided a list of recommended inmates to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they requested the freeing of prominent Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But, the prime minister's team stated it declines to free Barghouti.
