President Trump has stated that "largely, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"They're assembling them now," Trump stated, referring to the remaining hostages in Gaza. "They are in pretty rough locations."

He, who has been praised by Hamas and various Israeli figures for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, expressed he is confident the accord will "remain in place" because "both sides are exhausted by the fighting."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Crisis

Meanwhile, the president plans to assemble international leaders for a high-level meeting on the issue during his travel to the Arab Republic of Egypt soon. Among those slated to join are representatives from the European nation, France, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

According to reports, PM Netanyahu will be absent.

Leader's Plans

Trump affirmed that he would engage with a "lot of officials" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to discuss the direction of Gaza. It has been reported that he will also visit the nation, where he will speak before the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Numerous of Palestinian residents headed back to the largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. The remaining 48 captives—approximately 20 of them considered surviving—will be let go by next Monday.
• Issues linger over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if Hamas will disarm, as required in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in last March, indicated that the nation might renew its offensive if Hamas does not surrender its weapons.
• The United Nations was given the green light by Israel to start providing increased relief into Gaza starting on this Sunday. The aid will involve a large quantity that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as aid workers expected clearance from Israeli forces to resume their operations.
• An official the spokesman informed journalists on last Friday that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are calling for authorities to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee protected transit for aid workers and civilians who are going back to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun censured the Israeli government on Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous offensive against civilian structures—with no valid reason or rationale," he remarked.
• Israel shared a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to let go as part of the truce deal agreed upon with the group. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be freed in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of recommended prisoners to be freed to mediators in the Arab Republic, they requested the liberation of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the Israeli government stated it refuses to let go the individual.
