The American leader has remarked that "in general, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"Hamas is assembling them at present," he commented, referring to the captives yet to be freed in the Gaza Strip. "They are in very difficult locations."

He, who has been commended by the organization and numerous Israelis for his part in achieving a peace accord, remarked he believes the deal will "remain in place" because "they're all exhausted by the conflict."

Trump's Itinerary

He stated that he would engage with a "many dignitaries" in the city on next Monday to talk about the future of Gaza. It has been reported that he will also go to the nation, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

• Many of Palestinian residents headed back to the largely ruined northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. The 48 captives—about 20 of them thought to be living—will be freed by next Monday.
• Questions remain over who will govern the region as forces retreat step by step and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in last March, suggested that Israel might renew its offensive if Hamas does not surrender its arms.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to begin delivering increased relief into the Gaza Strip from the weekend. The aid will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for authorization from Israel's military to resume their efforts.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric reported to the press on Friday that fuel, medical supplies, and essential items have commenced entering through the crossing point. UN officials want the Israeli government to open more border crossings and guarantee secure passage for aid workers and residents who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on Saturday for carrying out raids during the night on non-military sites that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "For another time, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a heinous offensive against civilian structures—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun remarked.
• The government shared a list of the individuals in custody that it plans to release as part of the truce deal made with the group. From the 250 detainees, 15 will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a selection of recommended inmates to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the release of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the figure. Yet, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to release Barghouti.
