US President Donald Trump has remarked that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the following steps of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he acknowledged that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"Hamas is collecting them currently," he commented, referring to the hostages still held in Gaza. "They are in very difficult situations."

He, who has been lauded by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in brokering a truce agreement, remarked he thinks the agreement will "be sustained" because "they're all exhausted by the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, Trump intends to bring together world leaders for a high-level meeting on the issue during his trip to Egypt in the coming week. Participants slated to participate are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

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

Significant Events

• Many of individuals returned to the largely ruined Gaza's north on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. The 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israel's military slowly withdraw and whether the organization will give up weapons, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in last March, hinted that the country might renew its military campaign if the group does not relinquish its arms.
• The UN was authorized by the government to commence delivering scaled-up aid into the territory beginning Sunday. This assistance will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited authorization from Israeli forces to resume their work.
• UN spokesperson he told journalists on last Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and other critical materials have begun moving through the crossing point. Agency staff want authorities to unseal further border crossings and provide safe movement for humanitarian staff and civilians who are returning to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the Israeli government on Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on public installations that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a heinous offensive against civilian installations—without justification or excuse," the president said.
• The government provided a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to release as under the truce deal made with the group. Out of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be let go in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when Hamas officials provided a list of recommended detainees to be let go to intermediaries in Egypt, they called for the liberation of well-known individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the Israeli government stated it refuses to free Barghouti.
