Trump Says 'For the Most Part, Agreement Exists' on Following Steps of Truce Agreement for Gaza

The American leader has remarked that "in general, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

President Trump, who has been lauded by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in securing a truce agreement, said he thinks the deal will "hold" because "they're all tired of the hostilities."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Meanwhile, he aims to bring together world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his visit to the North African nation next week. Participants slated to take part are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

Based on reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

President's Schedule

The president stated that he would engage with a "numerous officials" in the city on the start of the week to talk about the prospects of the territory. Sources indicate that he will also travel to Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Numerous of Palestinian residents headed back to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them thought to be surviving—are scheduled to be let go by the start of the week.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in the region as Israel's military retreat step by step and whether the group will disarm, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in last March, hinted that Israel might restart its operations if the group does not surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to commence providing increased aid into the territory from the weekend. This assistance will involve significant amounts that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from the army to restart their work.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on the end of the week that energy supplies, medical supplies, and vital resources have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for the Israeli government to unseal further border crossings and provide secure passage for relief personnel and the population who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on the weekend for carrying out raids during the night on non-military sites that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous offensive against civilian structures—unjustifiably or rationale," he said.
• The government shared a inventory of the Palestinian prisoners that it intends to release as under the truce deal made with Hamas. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the West Bank, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when the organization's delegates submitted a selection of suggested detainees to be freed to mediators in Egypt, they demanded the freeing of high-profile individuals such as the figure. Yet, Netanyahu's office confirmed it refuses to release him.
