• Issues linger over who will govern the region as forces slowly withdraw and whether Hamas will give up weapons, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a halt in fighting in spring, hinted that the country might resume its offensive if the group does not surrender its weapons.
• The international body was authorized by Israeli authorities to start distributing increased aid into the Gaza Strip beginning the weekend. This assistance will include significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for authorization from the army to restart their operations.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to reporters on the end of the week that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives want Israel to allow access through additional border crossings and ensure secure passage for humanitarian staff and residents who are going back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The president of Lebanon he condemned the nation on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the health authority said resulted in at least one death.

Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be freed in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be sent abroad.
