The American leader has remarked that "largely, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be worked out."

"They're gathering them at present," the president stated, referring to the remaining hostages in Gaza. "They find themselves in pretty rough places."

President Trump, who has been lauded by the organization and many in Israel for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, said he thinks the deal will "remain in place" because "both sides are tired of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Situation

Meanwhile, the president aims to bring together world leaders for a summit on the Gaza situation during his travel to the Arab Republic of Egypt next week. Attendees anticipated to participate are delegates from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the State of Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to reports, the Israeli leader is not expected to attend.

President's Schedule

Trump stated that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to discuss the future of the territory. It has been reported that he will also go to Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Numerous of Palestinian residents headed back to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. The 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them thought to be surviving—are scheduled to be released by Monday.
• Issues linger over leadership in the region as Israel's military gradually pull back and if the organization will disarm, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who called off a ceasefire in spring, hinted that the country might restart its offensive if Hamas refuses to give up its arms.
• The UN was granted permission by the government to start providing expanded aid into Gaza from the weekend. The relief will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for clearance from Israeli forces to restart their efforts.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on last Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and vital resources have begun moving through the crossing point. Representatives are calling for Israel to open more entry points and provide secure passage for relief personnel and residents who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• Lebanese President the head of state condemned the nation on the weekend for carrying out overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian structures—without justification or pretext," Aoun said.
• Israel disclosed a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to free as under the ceasefire agreement made with the group. Out of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be released in East Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when representatives of the group submitted a list of proposed inmates to be let go to intermediaries in Egypt, they requested the release of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. However, the prime minister's team confirmed it refuses to free Barghouti.
