US President Donald Trump has indicated that "largely, there is consensus" on how the following steps of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he acknowledged that "a few particulars … will be finalized."

"Hamas is assembling them now," the president said, mentioning the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. "They find themselves in quite harsh places."

He, who has been lauded by Hamas and many in Israel for his part in brokering a ceasefire deal, remarked he is confident the agreement will "be sustained" because "they're all tired of the hostilities."

Upcoming Summit on Gaza Situation

Concurrently, the president intends to convene global figures for a conference on Gaza during his travel to the Arab Republic of Egypt in the coming week. Among those slated to participate are representatives from the European nation, the French Republic, the United Kingdom, the Italian Republic, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and Indonesia.

Based on sources, the Israeli leader will not be present.

Of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be let go in East Jerusalem, 100 to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be deported.
