The American leader has remarked that "largely, agreement exists" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be finalized."

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

President Trump, who has been praised by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in brokering a truce agreement, expressed he is confident the deal will "hold" because "the parties are weary of the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

Concurrently, the president plans to bring together international leaders for a high-level meeting on Gaza during his travel to the North African nation soon. Attendees anticipated to take part are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Italian Republic, the State of Qatar, the Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the Republic of Indonesia.

As per reports, the Israeli leader will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president affirmed that he would meet a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on next Monday to address the prospects of Gaza. Reports suggest that he will also visit Israel, where he will address the legislative body.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents returned to the severely damaged northern Gaza on Friday as a American-negotiated truce came into effect. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them considered alive—are to be released by next Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over the future governance of Gaza as Israel's military slowly withdraw and whether the organization will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in last March, indicated that Israel might resume its offensive if Hamas refuses to surrender its weapons.
• The international body was given the green light by Israeli authorities to commence providing increased humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. The aid will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from Israel's military to restart their efforts.
• UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told the press on Friday that fuel, medicines, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are calling for the Israeli government to unseal further crossing points and ensure secure passage for humanitarian staff and the population who are returning to regions of the territory that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The leader he censured the nation on Saturday for carrying out raids during the night on non-military sites that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the focus of a heinous attack by Israel against civilian structures—without justification or rationale," the president said.
• The government provided a list of the individuals in custody that it plans to release as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement made with the organization. Of the 250 detainees, 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and 135 will be deported. Originally, when representatives of the group provided a list of proposed prisoners to be freed to mediators in the Arab Republic, they requested the liberation of high-profile individuals such as the activist. However, the Israeli government stated it will not agree to release the individual.
