President Trump has indicated that "for the most part, agreement exists" on how the subsequent phases of the Gaza ceasefire plan will unfold, though he admitted that "a few particulars … will be resolved."

Significant Events

• Many of Palestinian residents headed back to the severely damaged northern Gaza on last Friday as a ceasefire mediated by the US came into effect. Those still 48 individuals—some 20 of them believed to be surviving—are to be released by next Monday.
• Questions remain over who will govern Gaza as forces retreat step by step and if the organization will give up weapons, as called for in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who called off a truce in spring, hinted that Israel might resume its offensive if they does not surrender its weapons.
• The international body was authorized by Israel to commence providing increased humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip beginning the weekend. The aid will comprise a large quantity that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for clearance from the army to restart their operations.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on last Friday that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are calling for Israel to allow access through additional crossing points and ensure protected transit for aid workers and the population who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President the head of state censured Israel on Saturday for executing overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the ministry said killed at least one person. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—unjustifiably or excuse," he said.
• The government provided a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to release as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement made with the group. Of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Initially, when the organization's delegates submitted a list of recommended inmates to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the release of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But, the prime minister's team stated it will not agree to release him.
