The American leader has indicated that "for the most part, parties are aligned" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"They're gathering them now," Trump said, referring to the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They are in quite harsh situations."

He, who has been lauded by the organization and various Israeli figures for his role in brokering a ceasefire deal, said he believes the accord will "remain in place" because "the parties are exhausted by the conflict."

Forthcoming Meeting on Gaza Issue

At the same time, the president aims to bring together global figures for a summit on the issue during his visit to the North African nation in the coming week. Among those anticipated to join are representatives from the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

As per sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be present.

Trump's Itinerary

The president confirmed that he would engage with a "lot of dignitaries" in the Egyptian capital on Monday to discuss the prospects of the territory. Reports suggest that he will also go to the nation, where he will speak before the Israeli parliament.

Key Developments

• Many of individuals returned to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza on Friday as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. The remaining 48 individuals—approximately 20 of them considered living—are scheduled to be let go by the start of the week.
• Issues linger over the future governance of the Gaza Strip as Israel's military retreat step by step and whether Hamas will give up weapons, as stipulated in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in spring, suggested that the country might resume its military campaign if Hamas refuses to give up its weapons.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to start providing scaled-up aid into the Gaza Strip beginning Sunday. The relief will comprise a large quantity that have been stored in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected authorization from Israel's military to restart their operations.
• An official he told the press on the end of the week that petrol, healthcare materials, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials are calling for the Israeli government to open more border crossings and guarantee protected transit for relief personnel and residents who are returning to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun censured the nation on Saturday for executing raids during the night on non-military sites that the ministry said caused one fatality. "Once again, the region has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun remarked.
• Israel provided a list of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to free as part of the ceasefire agreement made with the group. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and the remainder will be sent abroad. Initially, when representatives of the group submitted a roster of suggested detainees to be let go to negotiators in the country, they demanded the freeing of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the figure. However, the Israeli government affirmed it will not agree to let go the individual.
