Trump Says 'Generally, Agreement Exists' on Subsequent Phases of Peace Deal in Gaza
The American leader has stated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be resolved."

Significant Events

- Uncertainties persist over who will govern the region as Israel's military gradually pull back and if Hamas will disarm, as called for in the president's truce agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in last March, indicated that the nation might renew its operations if the group fails to give up its weapons.
- The United Nations was given the green light by Israel to commence providing expanded relief into the territory starting on Sunday. The relief will include significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators awaited authorization from the army to restart their work.
- A representative from the UN the spokesman reported to the press on Friday that petrol, medical supplies, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Representatives are urging authorities to unseal further border crossings and ensure secure passage for relief personnel and residents who are coming back to regions of the territory that were under heavy fire up until lately.
- The leader Joseph Aoun denounced the Israeli government on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on public installations that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Yet again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a egregious offensive against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," the president remarked.
- Israel disclosed a list of the individuals in custody that it intends to release as in accordance with the peace accord agreed upon with the organization. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be sent abroad. Originally, when Hamas officials submitted a list of proposed inmates to be let go to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the release of well-known Palestinian political figures such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team affirmed it declines to release him.
