US President Donald Trump has remarked that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

"Hamas is collecting them currently," Trump stated, referring to the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. "They are in quite harsh situations."

President Trump, who has been commended by the organization and many in Israel for his part in securing a ceasefire deal, said he thinks the deal will "remain in place" because "they're all exhausted by the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

Meanwhile, the president plans to bring together world leaders for a conference on the issue during his trip to Egypt soon. Attendees slated to take part are officials from Germany, France, the Britain, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

As per information, the Israeli leader will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president confirmed that he would meet a "lot of leaders" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to discuss the future of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also go to the State of Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents made their way to the severely damaged northern Gaza on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. The 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them believed to be surviving—are scheduled to be let go by next Monday.
• Questions remain over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military retreat step by step and if the organization will relinquish arms, as required in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that the country might renew its offensive if the group fails to give up its arms.
• The United Nations was given the green light by Israeli authorities to start providing scaled-up humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip beginning the weekend. This assistance will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected authorization from the army to recommence their operations.
• A representative from the UN the spokesman told the press on Friday that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to open more entry points and provide secure passage for humanitarian staff and the population who are returning to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on the weekend for carrying out overnight strikes on non-military sites that the ministry said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the region has been the target of a egregious offensive against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," the president said.
• Israeli authorities shared a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it intends to free as part of the ceasefire agreement made with the group. Of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when representatives of the group submitted a list of recommended prisoners to be released to intermediaries in the country, they demanded the liberation of prominent individuals such as the activist. Yet, the prime minister's team affirmed it will not agree to let go Barghouti.
