The American leader has remarked that "in general, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"They're assembling them currently," he stated, speaking about the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. "They are in pretty rough locations."

President Trump, who has been commended by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in achieving a peace accord, said he thinks the agreement will "remain in place" because "the parties are exhausted by the conflict."

Participants slated to join are representatives from Germany, the French Republic, the Britain, Italy, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

Based on information, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president confirmed that he would engage with a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to talk about the future of the Gaza Strip. 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 largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US was implemented. The 48 individuals—some 20 of them believed to be surviving—will be let go by next Monday.
• Questions remain over leadership in Gaza as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether Hamas will give up weapons, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who called off a ceasefire in last March, hinted that Israel might resume its offensive if the group fails to surrender its arms.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to begin distributing increased humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip from the weekend. The relief will comprise significant amounts that have been stored in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected clearance from the army to recommence their operations.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to journalists on the end of the week that petrol, medicines, and essential items have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are calling for authorities to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee protected transit for aid workers and civilians who are going back to regions of the territory that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun censured the nation on the weekend for executing nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the health authority said caused one fatality. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious attack by Israel against civilian structures—without justification or excuse," Aoun said.
• The government disclosed a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to let go as under the truce deal reached with Hamas. From the 250 individuals, 15 will be released in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be sent abroad. Initially, when the organization's delegates presented a list of suggested prisoners to be let go to negotiators in Egypt, they demanded the liberation of prominent individuals such as the figure. However, the prime minister's team stated it declines to release him.
