US President Donald Trump Says 'Generally, There Is Consensus' on Subsequent Phases of Peace Deal in Gaza

The American leader has indicated that "for the most part, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be resolved."

President Trump, who has been commended by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, remarked he thinks the agreement will "be sustained" because "the parties are weary of the fighting."

Planned Conference on Gaza Situation

At the same time, Trump plans to convene global figures for a conference on the issue during his travel to Egypt next week. Participants expected to join are representatives from the European nation, the French Republic, the Britain, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per reports, PM Netanyahu will not be present.

Leader's Plans

The president affirmed that he would confer with a "numerous officials" in Cairo on the start of the week to talk about the prospects of the Gaza Strip. It has been reported that he will also go to Israel, where he will address the Knesset.

Major Updates

• Many of Palestinian residents made their way to the largely ruined Gaza's north on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. The remaining 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them thought to be surviving—will be let go by next Monday.
• Questions remain over the future governance of Gaza as Israel's military slowly withdraw and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in the president's truce agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a truce in March, suggested that the nation might restart its military campaign if Hamas refuses to give up its arms.
• The UN was authorized by the government to commence delivering increased humanitarian assistance into Gaza beginning Sunday. The relief will include 170,000 metric tons that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from Israel's military to restart their efforts.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric informed the press on Friday that energy supplies, medical supplies, and vital resources have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives want authorities to unseal further entry points and guarantee safe movement for aid workers and the population who are coming back to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• The president of Lebanon he censured the Israeli government on last Saturday for executing raids during the night on civilian facilities 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 structures—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun stated.
• Israel shared a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to free as part of the ceasefire agreement reached with the group. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Originally, when the organization's delegates presented a roster of suggested detainees to be let go to intermediaries in the Arab Republic, they demanded the release of well-known Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. But, Netanyahu's office confirmed it declines to free the individual.
