The American leader has indicated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "certain specifics … will be finalized."

"They're assembling them currently," the president said, speaking about the remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip. "They are in pretty rough locations."

The US president, who has been commended by the group and various Israeli figures for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, said he thinks the agreement will "remain in place" because "the parties are weary of the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, he plans to convene world leaders for a summit on the issue during his trip to Egypt soon. Participants anticipated to take part are delegates from Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, Italy, the State of Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

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

Leader's Plans

He affirmed that he would engage with a "many officials" in the Egyptian capital on next Monday to address the direction of Gaza. It has been reported that he will also travel to the State of Israel, where he will appear at the Knesset.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinians made their way to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. The remaining 48 hostages—about 20 of them considered surviving—are scheduled to be let go by Monday.
• Issues linger over leadership in the region as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether Hamas will relinquish arms, as called for in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a truce in last March, hinted that the country might renew its military campaign if Hamas refuses to surrender its weapons.
• The UN was given the green light by the government to commence distributing scaled-up humanitarian assistance into Gaza beginning the weekend. The aid will involve significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected authorization from Israeli forces to recommence their efforts.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric informed journalists on Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and essential items have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Agency staff are urging Israel to allow access through additional crossing points and ensure safe movement for humanitarian staff and residents who are going back to regions of the territory that were experiencing severe attacks up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on Saturday for executing nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," the president stated.
• The government disclosed a list of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to free as part of the peace accord made with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, 15 will be released in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the region, and the remainder will be expelled. Originally, when the organization's delegates submitted a roster of suggested prisoners to be let go to mediators in Egypt, they demanded the liberation of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the Israeli government affirmed it declines to release him.
