President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be resolved."

"Hamas is collecting them currently," the president said, mentioning the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. "They find themselves in very difficult situations."

He, who has been lauded by the organization and many in Israel for his part in brokering a ceasefire deal, remarked he thinks the agreement will "be sustained" because "they're all weary of the fighting."

Upcoming Summit on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, the president plans to assemble world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his travel to the North African nation soon. Participants expected to join are officials from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

Based on sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be absent.

Leader's Plans

He stated that he would engage with a "numerous dignitaries" in Cairo on Monday to talk about the future of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also go to the nation, where he will address the Knesset.

Significant Events

• Many of individuals headed back to the largely ruined Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. The remaining 48 hostages—some 20 of them thought to be alive—will be released by next Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military slowly withdraw and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who called off a truce in spring, indicated that the nation might restart its operations if the group does not surrender its weapons.
• The international body was granted permission by Israel to begin providing expanded relief into the Gaza Strip starting on the weekend. This assistance will include 170,000 metric tons that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for clearance from the army to resume their work.
• An official he told the press on last Friday that fuel, medicines, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. UN officials are calling for Israel to allow access through additional crossing points and provide protected transit for relief personnel and the population who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The leader Joseph Aoun condemned the Israeli government on Saturday for conducting raids during the night on civilian facilities that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," Aoun stated.
• Israeli authorities shared a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to release as under the peace accord agreed upon with the group. From the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the region, and the remainder will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a roster of recommended inmates to be let go to negotiators in Egypt, they requested the release of prominent Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, Netanyahu's office affirmed it declines to let go Barghouti.
