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

"Hamas is assembling them now," Trump stated, mentioning the hostages still held in Gaza. "They're in some quite harsh situations."

The US president, who has been commended by the organization and various Israeli figures for his part in securing a truce agreement, said he believes the accord will "remain in place" because "both sides are exhausted by the fighting."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, Trump intends to bring together world leaders for a summit on Gaza during his travel to the Arab Republic of Egypt in the coming week. Attendees slated to participate are officials from the European nation, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Based on reports, the Israeli leader will not be present.

President's Schedule

The president stated that he would meet a "numerous officials" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to talk about the future of the territory. It has been reported that he will also visit the State of Israel, where he will appear at the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of individuals made their way to the largely ruined Gaza's north on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. The 48 hostages—about 20 of them thought to be alive—will be freed by Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern Gaza as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if the group will relinquish arms, as called for in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in last March, suggested that the nation might resume its offensive if the group refuses to surrender its military assets.
• The UN was granted permission by Israel to begin providing increased relief into the territory beginning the weekend. This assistance will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for authorization from Israeli forces to resume their efforts.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman told journalists on the end of the week that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the crossing point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to open more border crossings and ensure protected transit for aid workers and residents who are returning to areas in Gaza that were under heavy fire up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon he condemned the nation on Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the ministry said killed at least one person. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a egregious attack by Israel against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or pretext," the president stated.
• The government disclosed a list of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to let go as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement agreed upon with the organization. From the 250 detainees, 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and 135 will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of suggested prisoners to be released to mediators in Egypt, they called for the liberation of well-known Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to free the individual.
