Trump Affirms 'Generally, Parties Are Aligned' on Following Steps of Truce Agreement for Gaza

The American leader has stated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"Hamas is assembling them at present," Trump stated, mentioning the hostages still held in Gaza. "They are in very difficult situations."

President Trump, who has been praised by the organization and many in Israel for his part in securing a peace accord, remarked he believes the accord will "hold" because "both sides are weary of the hostilities."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, the president aims to convene world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his visit to Egypt in the coming week. Participants slated to take part are representatives from Germany, France, the UK, the Italian Republic, the State of Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

According to sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected to attend.

President's Schedule

He affirmed that he would meet a "lot of leaders" in the city on the start of the week to address the future of Gaza. Sources indicate that he will also go to the State of Israel, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

  • Tens of thousands of Palestinians headed back to the largely ruined Gaza's north on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. The remaining 48 captives—some 20 of them believed to be alive—will be freed by next Monday.
  • Uncertainties persist over who will govern Gaza as forces gradually pull back and whether Hamas will relinquish arms, as required in the president's truce agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a halt in fighting in spring, indicated that Israel might restart its operations if the group does not surrender its military assets.
  • The international body was authorized by the government to begin distributing expanded humanitarian assistance into the territory from this Sunday. This assistance will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected authorization from the army to resume their operations.
  • A representative from the UN the spokesman informed reporters on Friday that petrol, medicines, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Agency staff want authorities to allow access through additional entry points and provide safe movement for relief personnel and the population who are going back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.
  • Lebanese President he condemned Israel on last Saturday for conducting nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health authority said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—without justification or excuse," the president said.
  • Israel provided a roster of the individuals in custody that it plans to release as part of the ceasefire agreement made with Hamas. Of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Initially, when the organization's delegates submitted a list of recommended prisoners to be freed to intermediaries in the Arab Republic, they called for the freeing of well-known Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the prime minister's team confirmed it refuses to release the individual.
