The American leader has remarked that "largely, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the Gaza ceasefire plan will unfold, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

"Hamas is collecting them now," Trump said, mentioning the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. "They're in some very difficult situations."

President Trump, who has been praised by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in achieving a ceasefire deal, expressed he believes the accord will "be sustained" because "they're all tired of the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

Concurrently, he aims to assemble international leaders for a summit on the Gaza situation during his trip to Egypt next week. Among those anticipated to join are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

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

President's Schedule

The president stated that he would engage with a "many leaders" in the city on next Monday to discuss the prospects of the territory. Sources indicate that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will address the Knesset.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of individuals made their way to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect. The remaining 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them believed to be living—are to be released by the start of the week.
• Questions remain over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military retreat step by step and if the organization will disarm, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in last March, suggested that the country might resume its military campaign if the group does not give up its military assets.
• The UN was given the green light by the government to begin distributing expanded relief into the Gaza Strip from the weekend. The relief will comprise significant amounts that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited clearance from Israeli forces to restart their operations.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric informed journalists on last Friday that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and essential items have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Representatives are urging the Israeli government to open more border crossings and provide safe movement for relief personnel and the population who are returning to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun censured the Israeli government on last Saturday for executing overnight strikes on public installations that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a egregious offensive against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or rationale," he said.
• Israeli authorities shared a list of the individuals in custody that it aims to release as part of the truce deal agreed upon with the group. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, fifteen will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be deported. Originally, when representatives of the group provided a list of suggested detainees to be released to intermediaries in Egypt, they requested the release of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the figure. However, the prime minister's team affirmed it declines to let go Barghouti.
