Trump Says 'For the Most Part, Parties Are Aligned' 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 truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "certain specifics … will be resolved."
"They're collecting them at present," Trump commented, mentioning the hostages still held in the region. "They are in very difficult situations."
President Trump, who has been commended by the group and numerous Israelis for his part in brokering a ceasefire deal, remarked he believes the agreement will "remain in place" because "both sides are weary of the fighting."

Significant Events
- Many of Palestinian residents returned to the largely ruined Gaza's north on Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. Those still 48 individuals—about 20 of them considered alive—will be let go by next Monday.
- Uncertainties persist over the future governance of the region as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a ceasefire in last March, hinted that the country might renew its operations if they refuses to relinquish its military assets.
- The UN was granted permission by Israel to start delivering scaled-up humanitarian assistance into Gaza beginning the weekend. The relief will involve significant amounts that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected permission from the army to recommence their operations.
- An official he reported to reporters on Friday that fuel, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for the Israeli government to allow access through additional entry points and guarantee secure passage for aid workers and civilians who are going back to regions of the territory that were under heavy fire until only recently.
- The leader he denounced the nation on the weekend for conducting nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—with no valid reason or rationale," the president remarked.
- Israel disclosed a roster of the individuals in custody that it aims to free as part of the truce deal made with the group. From the 250 detainees, a group of 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be sent abroad. Initially, when representatives of the group presented a selection of recommended detainees to be released to mediators in the country, they called for the release of prominent individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. However, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to let go Barghouti.
