US President Donald Trump has remarked that "in general, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be worked out."

"Hamas is collecting them at present," the president said, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in Gaza. "They are in very difficult places."

President Trump, who has been commended by Hamas and numerous Israelis for his role in securing a peace accord, remarked he thinks the accord will "be sustained" because "both sides are tired of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Meanwhile, he aims to convene international leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his visit to the North African nation next week. Participants anticipated to participate are delegates from the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to sources, the Israeli leader will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president affirmed that he would meet a "many officials" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to talk about the future of Gaza. It has been reported that he will also go to the nation, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Major Updates

• Many of Palestinians returned to the largely ruined northern Gaza on Friday as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them thought to be alive—are scheduled to be released by the start of the week.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether the group will disarm, as required in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a truce in March, suggested that Israel might renew its offensive if the group refuses to relinquish its arms.
• The international body was given the green light by Israeli authorities to begin delivering scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. This assistance will involve 170,000 metric tons that have been stored in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited permission from Israeli forces to resume their operations.
• UN spokesperson he told journalists on last Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and vital resources have started flowing through the crossing point. Representatives are urging Israel to open more entry points and guarantee protected transit for humanitarian staff and residents who are going back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President he censured the nation on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on public installations that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a egregious attack by Israel against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or excuse," he remarked.
• Israel disclosed a roster of the individuals in custody that it aims to release as in accordance with the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials presented a roster of proposed prisoners to be let go to intermediaries in the Arab Republic, they called for the freeing of well-known Palestinian leaders such as the activist. Yet, Netanyahu's office confirmed it will not agree to release Barghouti.
