President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"They're collecting them currently," he commented, speaking about the hostages still held in the region. "They're in some pretty rough situations."

He, who has been commended by the group and various Israeli figures for his involvement in securing a ceasefire deal, said he thinks the deal will "hold" because "both sides are weary of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

At the same time, the president aims to convene world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his travel to Egypt next week. Among those slated to participate are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to information, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be absent.

Leader's Plans

The president stated that he would confer with a "lot of dignitaries" in the city on Monday to discuss the direction of the territory. It has been reported that he will also travel to Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Major Updates

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents made their way to the severely damaged northern Gaza on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect. The remaining 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them believed to be surviving—will be let go by the start of the week.
• Questions remain over leadership in the region as Israeli troops retreat step by step and whether Hamas will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a truce in spring, indicated that Israel might resume its operations if the group refuses to surrender its military assets.
• The international body was authorized by Israeli authorities to start providing scaled-up aid into Gaza starting on this Sunday. This assistance will include a large quantity that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited permission from Israel's military to recommence their work.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric told reporters on the end of the week that fuel, healthcare materials, and essential items have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives are calling for authorities to open more entry points and guarantee safe movement for humanitarian staff and residents who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The leader Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on last Saturday for executing nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a atrocious offensive against civilian installations—without justification or excuse," Aoun stated.
• Israeli authorities disclosed a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to let go as in accordance with the peace accord reached with the organization. From the 250 individuals, fifteen will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Originally, when the organization's delegates provided a list of suggested prisoners to be released to intermediaries in the Arab Republic, they requested the freeing of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the figure. However, the prime minister's team stated it declines to release Barghouti.
