The American leader has stated that "largely, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the truce agreement for Gaza will work, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be worked out."

Key Developments

• Many of Palestinian residents headed back to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect. Those still 48 captives—about 20 of them thought to be surviving—will be let go by next Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military gradually pull back and whether the organization will relinquish arms, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a ceasefire in spring, hinted that the country might renew its operations if the group does not give up its weapons.
• The United Nations was granted permission by the government to start providing scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip from the weekend. The aid will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for permission from the army to recommence their efforts.
• UN spokesperson he told reporters on the end of the week that fuel, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. UN officials are calling for Israel to open more entry points and ensure protected transit for aid workers and civilians who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on the weekend for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "For another time, the south of Lebanon has been the object of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun said.
• Israel disclosed a list of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to release as part of the peace accord reached with the organization. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a list of recommended detainees to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the freeing of prominent Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, the Israeli government affirmed it declines to free Barghouti.
