Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of individuals returned to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza on last Friday as a American-negotiated truce was implemented. The remaining 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them considered living—are scheduled to be let go by next Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over who will govern the Gaza Strip as Israel's military slowly withdraw and if the group will give up weapons, as required in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a truce in March, hinted that the nation might restart its offensive if they fails to relinquish its arms.
• The United Nations was given the green light by the government to begin delivering increased aid into Gaza from this Sunday. The relief will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as humanitarian officials expected clearance from Israeli forces to restart their efforts.
• UN spokesperson he told the press on the end of the week that energy supplies, medicines, and essential items have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff are urging authorities to allow access through additional entry points and provide secure passage for relief personnel and the population who are returning to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The leader he condemned Israel on last Saturday for executing overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the health authority said caused one fatality. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the object of a heinous attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or excuse," he said.
• Israel shared a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to release as part of the peace accord made with the organization. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad. Originally, when representatives of the group submitted a selection of recommended prisoners to be let go to mediators in Egypt, they demanded the liberation of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, the prime minister's team affirmed it will not agree to let go him.
