President Trump has indicated that "in general, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be finalized."

"Hamas is collecting them now," the president commented, referring to the remaining hostages in the region. "They're in some pretty rough situations."

The US president, who has been commended by the organization and numerous Israelis for his involvement in securing a truce agreement, expressed he believes the agreement will "remain in place" because "they're all tired of the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, the president aims to convene global figures for a summit on Gaza during his trip to the North African nation next week. Among those expected to participate are officials from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per information, PM Netanyahu will be absent.

President's Schedule

Trump confirmed that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to talk about the future of Gaza. It has been reported that he will also go to the State of Israel, where he will appear at the Knesset.

Significant Events

• Many of Palestinian residents returned to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. The remaining 48 hostages—about 20 of them thought to be alive—are scheduled to be released by the start of the week.
• Questions remain over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as forces slowly withdraw and whether the organization will give up weapons, as required in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that the country might resume its offensive if the group does not relinquish its arms.
• The international body was granted permission by Israeli authorities to start distributing expanded aid into the Gaza Strip starting on this Sunday. This assistance will involve a large quantity that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected authorization from Israeli forces to recommence their efforts.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric reported to journalists on the end of the week that energy supplies, medicines, and other critical materials have begun moving through the crossing point. Agency staff want authorities to open more border crossings and provide safe movement for humanitarian staff and the population who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon he censured the nation on the weekend for conducting nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the ministry said caused one fatality. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the target of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," he stated.
• Israel disclosed a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to release as under the peace accord agreed upon with the group. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, fifteen will be let go in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and the remainder will be expelled. At first, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of suggested inmates to be let go to mediators in Egypt, they requested the release of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. But, Netanyahu's office stated it declines to let go him.
