US President Donald Trump Says 'Largely, Parties Are Aligned' on Next Stages of Truce Agreement for Gaza

The American leader has indicated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

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

He, who has been praised by the group and many in Israel for his part in brokering a ceasefire deal, remarked he thinks the accord will "be sustained" because "both sides are tired of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

Meanwhile, he plans to convene global figures for a high-level meeting on the Gaza situation during his travel to Egypt in the coming week. Attendees expected to participate are officials from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

According to information, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be absent.

Key Developments

  • Numerous of individuals made their way to the largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US was implemented. The remaining 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them believed to be alive—are to be freed by the start of the week.
  • Questions remain over who will govern Gaza as Israeli troops retreat step by step and whether the organization will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in last March, hinted that Israel might restart its military campaign if Hamas does not surrender its military assets.
  • The United Nations was granted permission by the government to start delivering scaled-up aid into the territory beginning Sunday. This assistance will comprise a large quantity that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as aid workers expected permission from Israeli forces to resume their efforts.
  • UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to reporters on the end of the week that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have commenced entering through the crossing point. Agency staff want Israel to open more crossing points and provide safe movement for humanitarian staff and civilians who are coming back to regions of the territory that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
  • The president of Lebanon he censured the Israeli government on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on public installations that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous offensive against civilian installations—without justification or excuse," Aoun said.
  • Israel shared a roster of the individuals in custody that it intends to free as under the ceasefire agreement made with Hamas. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of suggested prisoners to be let go to intermediaries in the country, they demanded the freeing of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, Netanyahu's office confirmed it declines to let go Barghouti.
