US President Donald Trump has remarked that "largely, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be finalized."

"They're gathering them now," he stated, speaking about the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They find themselves in quite harsh locations."

He, who has been commended by the organization and numerous Israelis for his involvement in securing a truce agreement, said he is confident the accord will "remain in place" because "the parties are exhausted by the fighting."

Upcoming Summit on Gaza Situation

At the same time, Trump intends to convene international leaders for a high-level meeting on the Gaza situation during his trip to the Arab Republic of Egypt in the coming week. Attendees anticipated to take part are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the Britain, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

As per sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be absent.

Trump affirmed that he would meet a "many leaders" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to talk about the prospects of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also travel to Israel, where he will address the legislative body.

Key Developments

• Many of Palestinians made their way to the largely ruined northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. The remaining 48 captives—some 20 of them thought to be surviving—are to be let go by next Monday.
• Questions remain over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if the group will give up weapons, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a ceasefire in March, hinted that Israel might resume its military campaign if the group fails to surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israel to begin distributing expanded aid into the territory starting on Sunday. The aid will involve a large quantity that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as aid workers expected authorization from Israel's military to recommence their operations.
• A representative from the UN he reported to reporters on last Friday that fuel, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. UN officials want authorities to allow access through additional entry points and provide secure passage for aid workers and residents who are going back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.
• The leader he censured the Israeli government on Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Yet again, the region has been the object of a atrocious offensive against civilian structures—unjustifiably or excuse," Aoun stated.
• Israel provided a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to release as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, fifteen will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of suggested inmates to be released to mediators in the country, they called for the liberation of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, the Israeli government stated it refuses to free the individual.
