US President Donald Trump has stated that "for the most part, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"They're gathering them at present," he stated, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in the Gaza Strip. "They find themselves in pretty rough situations."

The US president, who has been praised by Hamas and various Israeli figures for his part in securing a truce agreement, said he believes the agreement will "be sustained" because "both sides are tired of the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Crisis

At the same time, Trump intends to convene world leaders for a high-level meeting on the issue during his trip to the North African nation in the coming week. Among those slated to join are representatives from the European nation, France, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

Based on reports, the Israeli leader is not expected to attend.

Leader's Plans

Trump stated that he would engage with a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on the start of the week to discuss the prospects of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also visit Israel, where he will address the Israeli parliament.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinians made their way to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. Those still 48 captives—about 20 of them considered living—will be let go by the start of the week.
• Questions remain over the future governance of the region as forces retreat step by step and if Hamas will give up weapons, as required in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in March, hinted that the country might renew its military campaign if Hamas fails to give up its arms.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to start delivering increased relief into Gaza beginning the weekend. The relief will involve significant amounts that have been stored in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as aid workers were waiting for authorization from Israel's military to recommence their operations.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman informed the press on last Friday that energy supplies, medicines, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. UN officials are urging authorities to open more crossing points and guarantee safe movement for aid workers and civilians who are returning to areas in Gaza that were subject to intense shelling until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon he denounced the nation on the weekend for executing nocturnal attacks on public installations that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," he remarked.
• Israel provided a list of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to release as in accordance with the peace accord agreed upon with the group. From the 250 detainees, fifteen will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a roster of suggested prisoners to be let go to intermediaries in Egypt, they requested the freeing of prominent Palestinian political figures such as the figure. But, the Israeli government affirmed it will not agree to let go the individual.
