US President Donald Trump has remarked that "largely, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the peace deal in Gaza will proceed, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be finalized."

"Hamas is gathering them currently," Trump commented, referring to the captives yet to be freed in Gaza. "They're in some quite harsh situations."

He, who has been commended by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in achieving a ceasefire deal, remarked he thinks the accord will "be sustained" because "they're all tired of the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, the president aims to convene global figures for a summit on the issue during his travel to the North African nation soon. Attendees expected to participate are officials from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to reports, PM Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

Leader's Plans

The president stated that he would confer with a "lot of officials" in Cairo on next Monday to address the future of Gaza. Reports suggest that he will also visit Israel, where he will appear at the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of individuals headed back to the largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. Those still 48 captives—approximately 20 of them thought to be living—are to be let go by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over who will govern the Gaza Strip as Israel's military gradually pull back and if the group will relinquish arms, as required in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who called off a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that Israel might resume its operations if Hamas refuses to give up its military assets.
• The United Nations was authorized by Israeli authorities to commence delivering scaled-up aid into Gaza from Sunday. The aid will involve a large quantity that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected authorization from Israel's military to resume their operations.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on last Friday that petrol, medicines, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Representatives are urging authorities to allow access through additional entry points and ensure safe movement for aid workers and civilians who are going back to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• Lebanese President the head of state condemned the nation on the weekend for carrying out raids during the night on public installations that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a heinous attack by Israel against non-military facilities—without justification or excuse," Aoun said.
• Israel shared a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to free as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement agreed upon with the group. From the 250 detainees, 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the region, and the remainder will be expelled. Initially, when the organization's delegates submitted a roster of proposed detainees to be released to intermediaries in Egypt, they called for the release of well-known Palestinian leaders such as the figure. However, the Israeli government affirmed it will not agree to free Barghouti.
