Trump States 'Largely, Parties Are Aligned' on Subsequent Phases of Gaza Ceasefire Plan

The American leader has stated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will proceed, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

"Hamas is gathering them currently," the president said, mentioning the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. "They're in some pretty rough places."

The US president, who has been lauded by the organization and numerous Israelis for his involvement in brokering a peace accord, remarked he is confident the deal will "be sustained" because "they're all tired of the fighting."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, the president intends to bring together international leaders for a conference on Gaza during his visit to the North African nation in the coming week. Attendees anticipated to take part are delegates from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

According to reports, PM Netanyahu will be absent.

Leader's Plans

He stated that he would confer with a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on next Monday to address the prospects of Gaza. Sources indicate that he will also travel to Israel, where he will speak before the Knesset.

Major Updates

  • Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents made their way to the largely ruined Gaza's north on the end of the week as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. Those still 48 hostages—some 20 of them thought to be surviving—are to be let go by next Monday.
  • Questions remain over who will govern the Gaza Strip as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether Hamas will disarm, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in last March, hinted that Israel might renew its military campaign if they refuses to give up its military assets.
  • The United Nations was authorized by the government to start providing expanded humanitarian assistance into Gaza beginning this Sunday. The relief will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have been stored in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as aid workers expected authorization from Israel's military to resume their operations.
  • UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told journalists on last Friday that energy supplies, medicines, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are urging Israel to allow access through additional border crossings and provide safe movement for aid workers and the population who are coming back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
  • The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun censured the nation on last Saturday for executing nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the health authority said killed at least one person. "For another time, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," Aoun remarked.
  • Israeli authorities disclosed a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it aims to free as part of the peace accord made with the organization. From the 250 individuals, 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the region, and 135 will be deported. Originally, when Hamas officials presented a list of proposed prisoners to be let go to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they called for the freeing of prominent Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But, the Israeli government affirmed it will not agree to let go the individual.
