US President Donald Trump has stated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"Hamas is assembling them currently," Trump commented, speaking about the hostages still held in Gaza. "They're in some quite harsh places."

The US president, who has been commended by Hamas and many in Israel for his part in securing a peace accord, remarked he believes the accord will "hold" because "they're all exhausted by the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

At the same time, the president intends to convene world leaders for a high-level meeting on the Gaza situation during his trip to Egypt soon. Participants slated to participate are representatives from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

According to reports, the Israeli leader is not expected to attend.

President's Schedule

The president affirmed that he would confer with a "lot of officials" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip. Reports suggest that he will also visit the nation, where he will appear at the Knesset.

Key Developments

• Many of individuals returned to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US came into effect. Those still 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them thought to be living—are scheduled to be let go by Monday.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops retreat step by step and whether Hamas will disarm, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in last March, hinted that the country might renew its operations if the group fails to relinquish its arms.
• The international body was authorized by the government to begin distributing scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip beginning Sunday. The relief will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected clearance from Israel's military to recommence their efforts.
• An official the spokesman informed journalists on the end of the week that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are calling for Israel to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee protected transit for humanitarian staff and civilians who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on last Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, the region has been the focus of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian installations—with no valid reason or rationale," he said.
• Israel provided a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to release as under the peace accord agreed upon with the organization. Of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be let go in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be sent abroad. Originally, when the organization's delegates submitted a selection of recommended inmates to be released to intermediaries in the country, they requested the liberation of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team confirmed it declines to free the individual.
