Key Developments

• Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents returned to the severely damaged Gaza's north on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. Those still 48 individuals—some 20 of them thought to be living—are to be released by Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern the region as forces slowly withdraw and if Hamas will give up weapons, as stipulated in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in March, hinted that Israel might resume its operations if Hamas does not give up its military assets.
• The United Nations was authorized by Israeli authorities to commence providing increased aid into the Gaza Strip from Sunday. The relief will comprise significant amounts that have been pre-positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and Egypt as relief coordinators expected permission from the army to restart their operations.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman told journalists on the end of the week that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and vital resources have commenced entering through the crossing point. UN officials are calling for authorities to unseal further crossing points and provide secure passage for humanitarian staff and civilians who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
• The leader he censured the Israeli government on Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on non-military sites that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "For another time, the region has been the target of a atrocious attack by Israel against civilian installations—with no valid reason or excuse," the president said.
• The government shared a roster of the Palestinian prisoners that it aims to free as under the ceasefire agreement made with Hamas. From the 250 detainees, 15 will be released in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be deported. Originally, when representatives of the group submitted a list of recommended prisoners to be freed to negotiators in the country, they demanded the release of prominent individuals such as the figure. But, Netanyahu's office confirmed it will not agree to free Barghouti.
