President Trump has stated that "in general, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will work, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"They're gathering them now," the president stated, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in Gaza. "They find themselves in pretty rough situations."

He, who has been praised by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in securing a truce agreement, remarked he is confident the deal will "hold" because "both sides are exhausted by the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Meanwhile, Trump intends to bring together international leaders for a high-level meeting on Gaza during his visit to Egypt next week. Participants expected to take part are representatives from Germany, France, the Britain, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to information, PM Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

Trump's Itinerary

The president confirmed that he would engage with a "lot of officials" in the city on the start of the week to discuss the direction of the Gaza Strip. Reports suggest that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will appear at the legislative body.

Significant Events

• Many of individuals made their way to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a ceasefire mediated by the US was implemented. The 48 individuals—about 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be freed by next Monday.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if Hamas will give up weapons, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who called off a halt in fighting in spring, indicated that the nation might renew its military campaign if they does not surrender its military assets.
• The UN was granted permission by the government to begin providing increased relief into the Gaza Strip starting on this Sunday. The relief will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from Israeli forces to recommence their operations.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told journalists on last Friday that fuel, medicines, and essential items have commenced entering through the crossing point. Agency staff are urging the Israeli government to unseal further entry points and guarantee secure passage for relief personnel and civilians who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on last Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "For another time, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian structures—unjustifiably or rationale," the president stated.
• Israeli authorities disclosed a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it aims to free as in accordance with the peace accord agreed upon with the group. Out of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be freed in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the region, and 135 will be expelled. Originally, when representatives of the group submitted a selection of recommended detainees to be let go to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the freeing of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team stated it will not agree to free him.
