US President Donald Trump has remarked that "in general, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be finalized."

"Hamas is gathering them currently," the president stated, speaking about the hostages still held in Gaza. "They are in quite harsh situations."

He, who has been lauded by the group and various Israeli figures for his part in securing a peace accord, expressed he thinks the accord will "be sustained" because "they're all weary of the conflict."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

Meanwhile, the president aims to bring together international leaders for a conference on the issue during his trip to the North African nation soon. Among those expected to take part are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Based on sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be present.

Trump's Itinerary

The president stated that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to address the prospects of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also visit Israel, where he will speak before the Knesset.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents headed back to the severely damaged northern Gaza on last Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US was implemented. The remaining 48 captives—about 20 of them thought to be alive—are to be released by Monday.
• Issues linger over the future governance of Gaza as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if the group will give up weapons, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in March, suggested that the nation might restart its military campaign if they fails to relinquish its weapons.
• The international body was authorized by Israeli authorities to start distributing increased relief into Gaza starting on this Sunday. This assistance will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators expected clearance from Israel's military to resume their operations.
• An official he informed reporters on last Friday that fuel, medicines, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. UN officials are calling for Israel to open more entry points and ensure safe movement for humanitarian staff and the population who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• The leader he denounced the nation on Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the ministry said killed at least one person. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the object of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—without justification or pretext," the president said.
• Israeli authorities shared a roster of the individuals in custody that it plans to release as part of the truce deal agreed upon with the group. Of the 250 detainees, 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the region, and the remainder will be deported. Originally, when Hamas officials presented a roster of recommended inmates to be freed to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they called for the liberation of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the figure. But, the prime minister's team stated it will not agree to let go the individual.
