President Trump has indicated that "in general, parties are aligned" on how the following steps of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"Hamas is gathering them now," Trump said, referring to the hostages still held in Gaza. "They are in pretty rough situations."

He, who has been commended by the group and many in Israel for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, expressed he is confident the deal will "be sustained" because "both sides are tired of the fighting."

Key Developments

• Many of Palestinians headed back to the largely ruined northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. Those still 48 captives—about 20 of them thought to be surviving—are to be released by the start of the week.
• Issues linger over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if Hamas will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in last March, hinted that the nation might renew its military campaign if Hamas refuses to relinquish its arms.
• The UN was authorized by the government to commence delivering increased humanitarian assistance into the territory starting on the weekend. This assistance will involve a large quantity that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as aid workers were waiting for clearance from the army to restart their operations.
• A representative from the UN he told the press on Friday that petrol, medicines, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are urging Israel to allow access through additional border crossings and provide secure passage for relief personnel and civilians who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President the head of state denounced Israel on last Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a egregious offensive against civilian installations—without justification or rationale," the president remarked.
• Israeli authorities provided a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to let go as in accordance with the truce deal made with Hamas. From the 250 individuals, 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the region, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when Hamas officials presented a selection of recommended inmates to be let go to mediators in Egypt, they called for the release of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the activist. Yet, the Israeli government stated it refuses to release the individual.
