US President Donald Trump has remarked that "largely, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be worked out."

"They're collecting them at present," the president said, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in the Gaza Strip. "They are in pretty rough places."

The US president, who has been commended by Hamas and various Israeli figures for his involvement in securing a truce agreement, expressed he thinks the agreement will "hold" because "they're all tired of the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Meanwhile, he aims to convene global figures for a conference on the Gaza situation during his visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt in the coming week. Among those anticipated to take part are representatives from the European nation, France, the UK, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per sources, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Trump's Itinerary

He affirmed that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the city on Monday to talk about the future of the territory. It has been reported that he will also visit the State of Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents headed back to the severely damaged northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. Those still 48 individuals—some 20 of them believed to be surviving—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over the future governance of Gaza as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if the organization will relinquish arms, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a halt in fighting in March, suggested that Israel might renew its operations if they fails to surrender its military assets.
• The UN was authorized by the government to start providing expanded relief into the territory from the weekend. This assistance will include 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from Israel's military to restart their efforts.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to the press on the end of the week that energy supplies, medical supplies, and essential items have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Agency staff want authorities to open more entry points and ensure protected transit for humanitarian staff and residents who are going back to areas in Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun denounced the Israeli government on Saturday for conducting overnight strikes on non-military sites that the ministry said killed at least one person. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian installations—without justification or excuse," the president said.
• The government provided a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it plans to release as part of the truce deal made with Hamas. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, fifteen will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the region, and 135 will be deported. Originally, when the organization's delegates provided a list of proposed prisoners to be freed to mediators in the country, they demanded the liberation of high-profile individuals such as the figure. Yet, the Israeli government stated it refuses to free the individual.
