Trump Affirms 'For the Most Part, Parties Are Aligned' on Next Stages of Truce Agreement for Gaza

US President Donald Trump has indicated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will unfold, though he acknowledged that "certain specifics … will be resolved."

He, who has been commended by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in brokering a peace accord, remarked he believes the deal will "be sustained" because "they're all exhausted by the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

Meanwhile, he plans to bring together international leaders for a conference on the issue during his travel to the North African nation next week. Attendees slated to join are officials from the European nation, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

Trump's Itinerary

He confirmed that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to discuss the direction of the territory. Sources indicate that he will also visit the nation, where he will speak before the Knesset.

Major Updates

• Many of individuals returned to the severely damaged northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. Those still 48 hostages—about 20 of them considered alive—will be let go by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether Hamas will relinquish arms, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in spring, suggested that the nation might restart its operations if the group fails to surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israel to start distributing scaled-up aid into the territory from Sunday. The relief will include significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for authorization from Israeli forces to resume their operations.
• A representative from the UN he told reporters on last Friday that fuel, medicines, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials want the Israeli government to allow access through additional border crossings and provide safe movement for humanitarian staff and the population who are coming back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President he censured Israel on the weekend for conducting raids during the night on civilian facilities that the health authority said resulted in at least one death. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a egregious Israeli aggression against non-military facilities—without justification or excuse," the president remarked.
• The government disclosed a roster of the individuals in custody that it plans to release as under the truce deal agreed upon with the group. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Originally, when the organization's delegates provided a list of suggested detainees to be released to intermediaries in the country, they demanded the freeing of well-known Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the prime minister's team affirmed it will not agree to let go the individual.
