President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will proceed, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"They're collecting them currently," he stated, speaking about the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. "They are in pretty rough places."

President Trump, who has been praised by the group and many in Israel for his role in securing a ceasefire deal, expressed he believes the deal will "hold" because "both sides are weary of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

Meanwhile, Trump plans to convene international leaders for a summit on Gaza during his trip to the North African nation soon. Attendees expected to join are representatives from the European nation, France, the Britain, the Italian Republic, the State of Qatar, the UAE, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

According to information, the Israeli leader will be absent.

Trump affirmed that he would confer with a "lot of dignitaries" in Cairo on the start of the week to discuss the direction of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also go to Israel, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

• Many of individuals made their way to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. The remaining 48 captives—approximately 20 of them thought to be alive—are to be freed by next Monday.
• Questions remain over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israel's military retreat step by step and whether Hamas will give up weapons, as called for in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a truce in spring, hinted that Israel might renew its offensive if the group does not relinquish its weapons.
• The UN was given the green light by Israel to commence providing scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. The aid will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have been stored in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as aid workers were waiting for permission from the army to restart their efforts.
• UN spokesperson he reported to the press on the end of the week that fuel, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the crossing point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to open more entry points and ensure safe movement for aid workers and civilians who are coming back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun denounced Israel on Saturday for executing raids during the night on non-military sites that the health authority said killed at least one person. "For another time, the region has been the target of a atrocious offensive against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," the president remarked.
• The government shared a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to release as part of the ceasefire agreement agreed upon with Hamas. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be let go in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the region, and 135 will be deported. At first, when representatives of the group submitted a selection of proposed prisoners to be let go to negotiators in Egypt, they requested the liberation of high-profile individuals such as the activist. Yet, the Israeli government stated it refuses to release the individual.
