Trump States 'Largely, Parties Are Aligned' on Subsequent Phases of Peace Deal in Gaza
President Trump has indicated that "largely, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be finalized."
"They're collecting them currently," the president said, referring to the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. "They find themselves in pretty rough places."
The US president, who has been lauded by Hamas and various Israeli figures for his part in achieving a truce agreement, remarked he believes the accord will "remain in place" because "they're all weary of the fighting."

Concurrently, he aims to assemble world leaders for a summit on the issue during his travel to the Arab Republic of Egypt next week. Among those anticipated to take part are delegates from Germany, France, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
As per information, PM Netanyahu will be absent.
Leader's Plans
Trump confirmed that he would confer with a "many leaders" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to talk about the direction of the territory. Sources indicate that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will address the legislative body.
Significant Events
Many of Palestinian residents made their way to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. The 48 individuals—some 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be let go by Monday.
Issues linger over who will govern the Gaza Strip as forces retreat step by step and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a truce in spring, indicated that the nation might resume its operations if they fails to give up its weapons.
The UN was authorized by the government to begin delivering expanded relief into the territory starting on this Sunday. The aid will include significant amounts that have been stored in adjacent states such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected clearance from Israel's military to recommence their operations.
UN spokesperson he reported to the press on the end of the week that petrol, healthcare materials, and essential items have started flowing through the crossing point. Representatives are urging the Israeli government to unseal further entry points and ensure secure passage for aid workers and the population who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
The leader Joseph Aoun denounced Israel on last Saturday for conducting overnight strikes on non-military sites that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian installations—without justification or excuse," the president remarked.
Israeli authorities shared a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to release as part of the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be freed in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. At first, when representatives of the group provided a list of proposed detainees to be freed to negotiators in the country, they demanded the liberation of prominent Palestinian political figures such as the figure. However, Netanyahu's office confirmed it will not agree to let go Barghouti.
