US President Donald Trump has indicated that "in general, parties are aligned" on how the following steps of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"Hamas is gathering them now," the president commented, referring to the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They find themselves in very difficult situations."

The US president, who has been lauded by the organization and various Israeli figures for his part in brokering a ceasefire deal, said he thinks the agreement will "be sustained" because "they're all exhausted by the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, Trump plans to assemble world leaders for a summit on the Gaza situation during his trip to the North African nation soon. Participants anticipated to participate are officials from Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the UAE, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

Based on reports, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president stated that he would confer with a "many officials" in the city on next Monday to talk about the prospects of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also go to the State of Israel, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Major Updates

• Tens of thousands of Palestinians headed back to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. Those still 48 captives—about 20 of them believed to be alive—are to be released by next Monday.
• Issues linger over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops retreat step by step and whether Hamas will disarm, as called for in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a truce in spring, indicated that the nation might resume its operations if the group refuses to give up its military assets.
• The United Nations was given the green light by the government to start delivering expanded aid into the Gaza Strip starting on this Sunday. The aid will involve significant amounts that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from Israel's military to resume their efforts.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to reporters on last Friday that fuel, healthcare materials, and vital resources have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives want authorities to unseal further border crossings and guarantee safe movement for relief personnel and civilians who are returning to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun condemned the Israeli government on the weekend for conducting raids during the night on public installations that the health authority said resulted in at least one death. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian installations—with no valid reason or excuse," the president remarked.
• Israeli authorities shared a list of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to release as under the ceasefire agreement made with the organization. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be deported. Originally, when Hamas officials submitted a list of proposed inmates to be released to negotiators in Egypt, they called for the release of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team affirmed it declines to release him.
