Trump Says 'Largely, Agreement Exists' on Next Stages of Peace Deal in Gaza

US President Donald Trump has indicated that "for the most part, there is consensus" on how the next stages of the peace deal in Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be resolved."

He, who has been commended by Hamas and numerous Israelis for his involvement in achieving a peace accord, expressed he believes the accord will "be sustained" because "the parties are tired of the hostilities."

Concurrently, the president intends to bring together world leaders for a conference on the Gaza situation during his travel to Egypt next week. Participants anticipated to take part are officials from Germany, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, Italy, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per sources, the Israeli leader is not expected to attend.

The president stated that he would confer with a "lot of leaders" in Cairo on next Monday to talk about the direction of Gaza. Reports suggest that he will also travel to the nation, where he will address the legislative body.

Significant Events

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents returned to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. The 48 captives—about 20 of them thought to be living—will be released by the start of the week.
• Issues linger over leadership in Gaza as forces gradually pull back and if Hamas will give up weapons, as required in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a truce in spring, hinted that the country might restart its military campaign if they fails to give up its military assets.
• The international body was authorized by the government to start providing scaled-up aid into Gaza beginning this Sunday. The relief will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from Israel's military to restart their efforts.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric told reporters on last Friday that petrol, medicines, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Agency staff are calling for Israel to unseal further border crossings and guarantee secure passage for humanitarian staff and the population who are going back to areas in Gaza that were under heavy fire just a short time ago.
• The president of Lebanon the head of state denounced Israel on last Saturday for carrying out raids during the night on civilian facilities that the health authority said caused one fatality. "Yet again, the region has been the focus of a egregious attack by Israel against civilian structures—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun said.
• The government disclosed a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it intends to let go as under the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of suggested inmates to be let go to intermediaries in the Arab Republic, they requested the release of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. But, Netanyahu's office stated it declines to release Barghouti.
