Trump States 'Largely, There Is Consensus' on Following Steps of Gaza Ceasefire Plan

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

"Hamas is gathering them now," Trump said, mentioning the remaining hostages in the region. "They are in very difficult places."

President Trump, who has been commended by Hamas and many in Israel for his part in securing a peace accord, expressed he is confident the accord will "remain in place" because "both sides are weary of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Situation

Meanwhile, Trump intends to assemble global figures for a high-level meeting on Gaza during his visit to the North African nation in the coming week. Participants expected to participate are officials from the European nation, France, the Britain, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per information, PM Netanyahu will be absent.

President's Schedule

He affirmed that he would meet a "numerous leaders" in the city on Monday to address the direction of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also visit Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Major Updates

  • Tens of thousands of Palestinians headed back to the largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. Those still 48 hostages—about 20 of them considered living—will be freed by the start of the week.
  • Questions remain over who will govern Gaza as forces slowly withdraw and whether the organization will disarm, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a truce in March, indicated that the country might restart its military campaign if the group refuses to give up its military assets.
  • The UN was granted permission by the government to begin distributing increased relief into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. The aid will involve 170,000 metric tons that have been stored in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from the army to resume their operations.
  • An official he reported to journalists on last Friday that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and essential items have begun moving through the crossing point. Representatives want authorities to open more crossing points and ensure safe movement for humanitarian staff and civilians who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
  • The president of Lebanon he denounced the Israeli government on last Saturday for executing raids during the night on civilian facilities that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous Israeli aggression against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or excuse," he stated.
  • Israel shared a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to let go as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement reached with the organization. Out of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the West Bank, and the remainder will be sent abroad. Initially, when the organization's delegates submitted a roster of suggested prisoners to be let go to mediators in Egypt, they demanded the freeing of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. However, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to release Barghouti.
