President Trump has indicated that "in general, parties are aligned" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be finalized."

"They're gathering them at present," Trump said, speaking about the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They find themselves in very difficult locations."

He, who has been commended by the group and many in Israel for his role in brokering a truce agreement, remarked he believes the agreement will "hold" because "they're all tired of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, Trump plans to bring together global figures for a high-level meeting on the Gaza situation during his visit to Egypt in the coming week. Among those anticipated to participate are representatives from the European nation, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

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

Leader's Plans

Trump affirmed that he would confer with a "many dignitaries" in the city on Monday to talk about the prospects of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also go to the nation, where he will address the Knesset.

Key Developments

• Many of individuals headed back to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. The remaining 48 individuals—about 20 of them believed to be surviving—are to be let go by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in Gaza as Israeli troops gradually pull back and if the group will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who called off a truce in spring, hinted that Israel might restart its military campaign if Hamas fails to surrender its military assets.
• The UN was authorized by Israeli authorities to commence distributing increased aid into the territory starting on Sunday. This assistance will comprise significant amounts that have been stored in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from the army to restart their efforts.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric told the press on Friday that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the crossing point. UN officials are urging Israel to unseal further border crossings and provide safe movement for aid workers and residents who are going back to regions of the territory that were under heavy fire up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun censured the Israeli government on Saturday for conducting nocturnal attacks on public installations that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian structures—with no valid reason or excuse," the president stated.
• The government disclosed a inventory of the individuals in custody that it intends to free as under the peace accord made with the group. Of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and one hundred thirty-five will be deported. Originally, when the organization's delegates presented a selection of recommended inmates to be let go to intermediaries in the country, they called for the freeing of well-known Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, Netanyahu's office confirmed it will not agree to release him.
