President Trump has stated that "largely, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

"Hamas is assembling them currently," he stated, mentioning the hostages still held in the region. "They're in some pretty rough places."

President Trump, who has been lauded by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in securing a truce agreement, expressed he believes the deal will "be sustained" because "the parties are exhausted by the conflict."

Upcoming Summit on Gaza Situation

At the same time, he aims to convene international leaders for a conference on the issue during his trip to the North African nation soon. Attendees expected to join are officials from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to sources, the Israeli leader will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president affirmed that he would engage with a "lot of leaders" in the Egyptian capital on next Monday to discuss the prospects of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will appear at the Knesset.

Key Developments

• Many of Palestinians headed back to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on the end of the week as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them thought to be surviving—will be released by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in the Gaza Strip as forces retreat step by step and whether the group will disarm, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who called off a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that the nation might resume its operations if they refuses to relinquish its military assets.
• The United Nations was given the green light by Israel to begin distributing increased humanitarian assistance into the territory beginning Sunday. This assistance will comprise significant amounts that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials expected authorization from Israeli forces to restart their operations.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric told journalists on the end of the week that energy supplies, medicines, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to open more entry points and guarantee protected transit for humanitarian staff and the population who are going back to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• Lebanese President he condemned the Israeli government on the weekend for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or pretext," Aoun remarked.
• Israeli authorities provided a list of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to let go as in accordance with the peace accord reached with the group. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when the organization's delegates provided a list of proposed detainees to be released to intermediaries in the country, they requested the release of well-known individuals such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team affirmed it refuses to release Barghouti.
