US President Donald Trump has remarked that "largely, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"They're assembling them at present," he commented, speaking about the remaining hostages in Gaza. "They find themselves in very difficult locations."

He, who has been praised by the group and various Israeli figures for his involvement in achieving a ceasefire deal, remarked he thinks the deal will "be sustained" because "the parties are weary of the hostilities."

Among those expected to take part are officials from the European nation, France, the UK, Italy, the State of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Key Developments

• Numerous of Palestinians returned to the largely ruined northern Gaza on the end of the week as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. Those still 48 hostages—about 20 of them thought to be surviving—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Questions remain over leadership in the region as Israel's military slowly withdraw and if the organization will disarm, as called for in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who unilaterally ended a truce in spring, hinted that Israel might restart its offensive if Hamas does not relinquish its arms.
• The international body was granted permission by Israel to start delivering expanded humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip beginning this Sunday. The aid will involve significant amounts that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for permission from Israel's military to restart their efforts.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on the end of the week that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the crossing point. Agency staff want authorities to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee secure passage for relief personnel and the population who are returning to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on last Saturday for conducting overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "For another time, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a egregious Israeli aggression against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," the president remarked.
• Israel disclosed a list of the individuals in custody that it plans to let go as in accordance with the peace accord made with the organization. From the 250 detainees, 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a roster of recommended detainees to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they requested the release of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the activist. However, Netanyahu's office confirmed it declines to let go the individual.
