President Trump has remarked that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he conceded that "certain specifics … will be resolved."

"They're assembling them currently," he stated, speaking about the hostages still held in the region. "They're in some pretty rough situations."

The US president, who has been lauded by the organization and numerous Israelis for his part in achieving a truce agreement, expressed he believes the accord will "remain in place" because "the parties are weary of the hostilities."

Significant Events

• Many of Palestinian residents returned to the severely damaged northern Gaza Strip on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. The remaining 48 individuals—about 20 of them believed to be alive—are scheduled to be freed by next Monday.
• Issues linger over leadership in the region as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if the group will give up weapons, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in last March, indicated that Israel might renew its military campaign if Hamas fails to give up its arms.
• The UN was granted permission by Israeli authorities to commence delivering increased relief into Gaza starting on the weekend. This assistance will include significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from the army to restart their work.
• An official he informed reporters on last Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are urging authorities to open more border crossings and provide secure passage for aid workers and civilians who are going back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks until only recently.
• The leader Joseph Aoun denounced the Israeli government on the weekend for executing overnight strikes on non-military sites that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a atrocious offensive against civilian installations—with no valid reason or excuse," the president said.
• The government provided a list of the individuals in custody that it intends to let go as under the ceasefire agreement made with Hamas. Of the 250 detainees, 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be sent abroad. At first, when Hamas officials provided a list of proposed detainees to be freed to mediators in Egypt, they demanded the freeing of prominent Palestinian political figures such as the activist. However, the prime minister's team confirmed it will not agree to let go Barghouti.
