US President Donald Trump has remarked that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will proceed, though he acknowledged that "some of the details … will be finalized."

"Hamas is assembling them now," Trump said, referring to the captives yet to be freed in Gaza. "They are in quite harsh situations."

This assistance will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators awaited authorization from Israel's military to recommence their operations.
• An official the spokesman informed the press on Friday that fuel, medicines, and vital resources have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom crossing. UN officials want Israel to allow access through additional border crossings and guarantee protected transit for relief personnel and the population who are coming back to parts of Gaza that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• The leader the head of state censured the nation on Saturday for executing overnight strikes on public installations that the ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, the region has been the target of a atrocious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—with no valid reason or excuse," Aoun remarked.
• Israeli authorities shared a inventory of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to let go as part of the ceasefire agreement made with the organization. Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be freed in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the West Bank, and 135 will be deported.

However, the Israeli government affirmed it declines to release him.
