Significant Events

- Questions remain over leadership in Gaza as Israeli troops retreat step by step and if the group will disarm, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a ceasefire in spring, suggested that the country might resume its offensive if the group does not relinquish its weapons.
- The United Nations was granted permission by the government to commence distributing increased relief into the Gaza Strip beginning this Sunday. The aid will include 170,000 metric tons that have been stored in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators were waiting for authorization from Israeli forces to restart their operations.
- A representative from the UN he informed journalists on Friday that petrol, medicines, and essential items have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Agency staff want the Israeli government to unseal further crossing points and guarantee secure passage for aid workers 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 denounced Israel on the weekend for carrying out overnight strikes on public installations that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a egregious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—without justification or pretext," Aoun stated.
- Israeli authorities disclosed a inventory of the Palestinian prisoners that it plans to release as part of the ceasefire agreement made with the group. From the 250 detainees, a group of 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and 135 will be sent abroad. Initially, when representatives of the group provided a selection of proposed inmates to be freed to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the liberation of high-profile individuals such as the activist. Yet, the prime minister's team confirmed it will not agree to let go Barghouti.
