The American leader has stated that "in general, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents returned to the largely ruined northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. Those still 48 captives—approximately 20 of them considered living—will be let go by the start of the week.
• Questions remain over leadership in Gaza as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if the organization will give up weapons, as stipulated in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a truce in last March, indicated that the country might renew its operations if Hamas refuses to surrender its arms.
• The UN was granted permission by the government to commence delivering scaled-up aid into Gaza starting on Sunday. The relief will include a large quantity that have been pre-positioned in neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as aid workers expected permission from Israel's military to recommence their work.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to reporters on last Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and other critical materials have started flowing through the crossing point. UN officials are calling for authorities to unseal further border crossings and guarantee safe movement for aid workers and the population who are coming back to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire up until lately.
• Lebanese President the head of state censured Israel on Saturday for executing raids during the night on non-military sites that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the region has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," the president remarked.
• The government shared a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to free as part of the peace accord made with Hamas. From the 250 individuals, 15 will be freed in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials presented a roster of proposed prisoners to be let go to intermediaries in Egypt, they called for the release of high-profile individuals such as the activist. Yet, Netanyahu's office affirmed it refuses to let go Barghouti.
