The American leader has indicated that "for the most part, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"They're collecting them currently," Trump commented, speaking about the remaining hostages in Gaza. "They are in quite harsh situations."

The US president, who has been lauded by the group and numerous Israelis for his role in brokering a ceasefire deal, expressed he thinks the accord will "hold" because "both sides are tired of the fighting."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Situation

Meanwhile, he intends to convene international leaders for a summit on Gaza during his visit to the North African nation in the coming week. Participants expected to take part are delegates from the European nation, the French Republic, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per sources, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents returned to the severely damaged northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. Those still 48 individuals—about 20 of them considered living—are to be released by next Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in Gaza as Israel's military retreat step by step and if the organization will relinquish arms, as called for in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who called off a halt in fighting in last March, indicated that Israel might restart its operations if they does not surrender its military assets.
• The UN was granted permission by Israel to start distributing increased aid into Gaza beginning Sunday. This assistance will comprise a large quantity that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected clearance from Israel's military to recommence their efforts.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric reported to the press on Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and other critical materials have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are urging Israel to unseal further entry points and guarantee protected transit for relief personnel and residents who are going back to areas in Gaza that were under heavy fire just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President he censured the Israeli government on Saturday for executing raids during the night on public installations that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a atrocious attack by Israel against civilian structures—without justification or excuse," he remarked.
• The government provided a roster of the individuals in custody that it intends to release as part of the truce deal agreed upon with the organization. Out of the 250 detainees, 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, 100 to the West Bank, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when representatives of the group provided a list of suggested inmates to be freed to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they requested the release of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the prime minister's team stated it will not agree to free Barghouti.
