President Trump has stated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

"Hamas is assembling them at present," Trump stated, mentioning the hostages still held in the region. "They find themselves in very difficult locations."

The US president, who has been commended by the organization and many in Israel for his role in achieving a truce agreement, remarked he thinks the agreement will "remain in place" because "the parties are tired of the hostilities."

Upcoming Summit on Gaza Issue

At the same time, Trump aims to assemble world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his visit to Egypt in the coming week. Among those anticipated to participate are delegates from the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, Italy, the State of Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per reports, PM Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

Leader's Plans

The president confirmed that he would meet a "lot of leaders" in the city on next Monday to discuss the prospects of the territory. It has been reported that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will address the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of individuals returned to the largely ruined northern Gaza on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. The remaining 48 hostages—some 20 of them considered surviving—are to be released by Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if Hamas will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in spring, indicated that the nation might restart its offensive if Hamas does not give up its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by the government to commence providing increased relief into the territory from the weekend. This assistance will comprise a large quantity that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected permission from Israel's military to recommence their work.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman told reporters on Friday that fuel, medicines, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the crossing point. UN officials want Israel to unseal further entry points and guarantee secure passage for aid workers and residents who are going back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun censured the nation on Saturday for executing nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a atrocious offensive against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," he remarked.
• Israel shared a list of the individuals in custody that it plans to free as part of the peace accord reached with Hamas. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be freed in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the West Bank, and the remainder will be expelled. At first, when representatives of the group presented a selection of recommended detainees to be freed to negotiators in the country, they called for the release of well-known Palestinian political figures such as the activist. But, Netanyahu's office confirmed it will not agree to release Barghouti.
