• Issues linger over leadership in the Gaza Strip as Israel's military retreat step by step and whether the group will disarm, as called for in the proposed deal. PM Netanyahu, who called off a ceasefire in March, suggested that the country might restart its offensive if Hamas refuses to surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to begin delivering increased relief into Gaza starting on this Sunday. The aid will comprise 170,000 metric tons that have been pre-positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for authorization from the army to recommence their operations.
• An official the spokesman reported to reporters on Friday that fuel, medical supplies, and vital resources have begun moving through the crossing point. Representatives are urging authorities to open more border crossings and guarantee safe movement for humanitarian staff and the population who are coming back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The president of Lebanon he denounced the nation on last Saturday for conducting overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said caused one fatality. "For another time, the region has been the focus of a heinous attack by Israel against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," he remarked.
• The government provided a inventory of the individuals in custody that it plans to let go as part of the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, 15 will be let go in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of recommended prisoners to be freed to negotiators in Egypt, they called for the freeing of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the figure. Yet, Netanyahu's office affirmed it will not agree to free him.
