US President Donald Trump Says 'Generally, Agreement Exists' on Subsequent Phases of Gaza Ceasefire Plan

President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will unfold, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be finalized."

The US president, who has been commended by Hamas and numerous Israelis for his role in achieving a ceasefire deal, said he thinks the agreement will "remain in place" because "the parties are tired of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

At the same time, Trump intends to assemble world leaders for a high-level meeting on the issue during his travel to the North African nation next week. Attendees slated to participate are delegates from Germany, France, the UK, Italy, the State of Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per information, the Israeli leader will be absent.

Trump's Itinerary

The president affirmed that he would confer with a "lot of dignitaries" in the city on the start of the week to discuss the direction of the territory. It has been reported that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will appear at the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents headed back to the severely damaged northern Gaza Strip on the end of the week as a ceasefire mediated by the US was implemented. The 48 hostages—some 20 of them thought to be alive—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern the region as forces slowly withdraw and if Hamas will relinquish arms, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that Israel might renew its military campaign if Hamas does not surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was authorized by Israeli authorities to start delivering expanded aid into the territory from this Sunday. The relief will comprise a large quantity that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for authorization from Israel's military to resume their work.
• A representative from the UN he informed reporters on Friday that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Representatives want authorities to open more crossing points and guarantee protected transit for relief personnel and residents who are coming back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on Saturday for conducting nocturnal attacks on public installations that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—unjustifiably or rationale," the president said.
• The government disclosed a list of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to let go as under the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be released in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the West Bank, and the remainder will be deported. At first, when Hamas officials presented a selection of suggested prisoners to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they requested the release of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, Netanyahu's office confirmed it declines to release Barghouti.
