US President Donald Trump has remarked that "largely, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he acknowledged that "a few particulars … will be finalized."

"Hamas is collecting them currently," he commented, mentioning the captives yet to be freed in Gaza. "They find themselves in quite harsh situations."

The US president, who has been praised by the group and various Israeli figures for his role in securing a peace accord, remarked he believes the agreement will "be sustained" because "they're all weary of the hostilities."

Planned Conference on Gaza Issue

The aid will involve a large quantity that have already been positioned in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators expected authorization from the army to restart their efforts.

Of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. At first, when the organization's delegates submitted a list of suggested inmates to be let go to negotiators in Egypt, they requested the freeing of well-known Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. Yet, the Israeli government confirmed it declines to let go him.
