President Trump has remarked that "in general, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will unfold, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"Hamas is assembling them currently," he commented, speaking about the hostages still held in Gaza. "They find themselves in quite harsh locations."

He, who has been commended by the organization and numerous Israelis for his part in brokering a truce agreement, remarked he believes the deal will "hold" because "the parties are exhausted by the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, he plans to bring together global figures for a summit on the issue during his visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt next week. Participants expected to take part are officials from Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Based on sources, the Israeli leader is not expected to attend.

The president affirmed that he would meet a "many officials" in the Egyptian capital on next Monday to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip. Reports suggest that he will also visit the State of Israel, where he will appear at the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinians made their way to the largely ruined northern Gaza Strip on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. Those still 48 hostages—some 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and whether the organization will relinquish arms, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a halt in fighting in last March, hinted that the nation might renew its military campaign if they refuses to surrender its arms.
• The international body was authorized by the government to begin delivering scaled-up humanitarian assistance into the territory starting on the weekend. This assistance will include a large quantity that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited authorization from the army to recommence their operations.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric told journalists on Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and vital resources have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives want Israel to open more border crossings and guarantee secure passage for aid workers and civilians who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon the head of state denounced Israel on the weekend for conducting raids during the night on public installations that the ministry said resulted in at least one death. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or excuse," Aoun stated.
• Israel shared a list of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to free as in accordance with the truce deal made with the organization. Of the 250 individuals, 15 will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of recommended detainees to be freed to negotiators in the country, they requested the liberation of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the activist. Yet, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to release him.
