President Trump has remarked that "largely, parties are aligned" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he conceded that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"Hamas is collecting them currently," he stated, referring to the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They find themselves in very difficult places."

The US president, who has been praised by the organization and many in Israel for his role in achieving a peace accord, expressed he is confident the accord will "hold" because "the parties are weary of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, Trump aims to convene world leaders for a high-level meeting on the Gaza situation during his travel to Egypt soon. Among those anticipated to take part are delegates from the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the UK, Italy, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Based on information, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be present.

Trump's Itinerary

He confirmed that he would meet a "many leaders" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to talk about the future of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also visit the State of Israel, where he will appear at the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Many of Palestinians returned to the largely ruined northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce took hold. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them believed to be alive—will be let go by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israel's military gradually pull back and if the group will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who called off a truce in spring, indicated that the country might renew its offensive if they refuses to relinquish its arms.
• The UN was authorized by the government to start delivering scaled-up relief into the territory from this Sunday. This assistance will include 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for permission from Israel's military to recommence their operations.
• A representative from the UN he told journalists on the end of the week that petrol, medical supplies, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff want the Israeli government to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee secure passage for aid workers and civilians who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President he censured Israel on Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Once again, the region has been the focus of a heinous attack by Israel against civilian structures—unjustifiably or rationale," he said.
• Israel provided a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to free as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement reached with the group. Of the 250 detainees, 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and the remainder will be expelled. At first, when the organization's delegates presented a list of suggested inmates to be released to mediators in the country, they called for the liberation of prominent Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But, the prime minister's team confirmed it will not agree to release Barghouti.
