Trump States 'For the Most Part, Agreement Exists' on Subsequent Phases of Peace Deal in Gaza

The American leader has remarked that "for the most part, there is consensus" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

Major Updates

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents headed back to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on the end of the week as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. Those still 48 individuals—about 20 of them believed to be surviving—are scheduled to be released by the start of the week.
• Issues linger over who will govern Gaza as forces gradually pull back and whether Hamas will disarm, as called for in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in March, indicated that Israel might resume its military campaign if the group refuses to relinquish its weapons.
• The United Nations was granted permission by the government to begin distributing scaled-up humanitarian assistance into the territory from this Sunday. The aid will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as aid workers awaited permission from Israeli forces to restart their operations.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman told the press on Friday that energy supplies, medicines, and other critical materials have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives want the Israeli government to unseal further crossing points and guarantee secure passage for humanitarian staff and civilians who are coming back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on last Saturday for executing raids during the night on non-military sites that the ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a egregious offensive against civilian structures—with no valid reason or pretext," he stated.
• The government disclosed a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to free as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement agreed upon with the group. From the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Initially, when representatives of the group submitted a selection of proposed inmates to be released to mediators in the country, they requested the release of prominent individuals such as the figure. However, the Israeli government stated it declines to free him.
