President Trump has remarked that "in general, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he admitted that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"Hamas is gathering them currently," he said, referring to the hostages still held in Gaza. "They are in quite harsh locations."

President Trump, who has been commended by the organization and many in Israel for his involvement in securing a ceasefire deal, expressed he is confident the deal will "be sustained" because "they're all exhausted by the hostilities."

Major Updates

• Uncertainties persist over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops retreat step by step and whether Hamas will relinquish arms, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in last March, hinted that the nation might renew its operations if Hamas fails to give up its arms.
• The UN was granted permission by Israel to commence providing expanded humanitarian assistance into Gaza beginning Sunday. The relief will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators awaited authorization from Israeli forces to restart their work.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric informed reporters on last Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and vital resources have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff want Israel to open more border crossings and provide safe movement for relief personnel and civilians who are going back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on the weekend for carrying out raids during the night on public installations that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a egregious attack by Israel against non-military facilities—without justification or pretext," he said.
• Israel disclosed a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to release as under the ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, 15 will be let go in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the West Bank, and 135 will be sent abroad. Originally, when Hamas officials presented a roster of suggested inmates to be let go to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the freeing of prominent individuals such as the figure. But, Netanyahu's office stated it will not agree to free the individual.
