President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, parties are aligned" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

Major Updates

• Many of Palestinian residents made their way to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce took hold. The remaining 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them considered alive—will be let go by the start of the week.
• Uncertainties persist over the future governance of Gaza as forces gradually pull back and if the organization will give up weapons, as called for in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who unilaterally ended a truce in last March, indicated that the nation might restart its offensive if the group does not surrender its arms.
• The international body was given the green light by the government to begin distributing expanded humanitarian assistance into the territory beginning Sunday. The aid will comprise a large quantity that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited authorization from Israeli forces to restart their efforts.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to the press on Friday that petrol, medicines, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the crossing point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to unseal further crossing points and provide protected transit for humanitarian staff and the population who are coming back to regions of the territory that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The president of Lebanon Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the region has been the target of a heinous attack by Israel against civilian structures—without justification or pretext," the president remarked.
• Israeli authorities provided a inventory of the Palestinian prisoners that it aims to let go as part of the truce deal made with the group. Of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be freed in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be sent abroad. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of recommended prisoners to be freed to negotiators in the country, they demanded the liberation of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, Netanyahu's office confirmed it refuses to release him.
