Major Updates

• Many of Palestinians returned to the severely damaged Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire took hold. Those still 48 hostages—approximately 20 of them thought to be alive—are to be let go by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over leadership in the region as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if the organization will relinquish arms, as required in Trump's ceasefire plan. PM Netanyahu, who called off a truce in last March, suggested that the country might renew its military campaign if they refuses to relinquish its weapons.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to begin delivering expanded aid into the territory from the weekend. The aid will include a large quantity that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials were waiting for authorization from Israel's military to recommence their work.
• A representative from the UN the spokesman informed reporters on the end of the week that energy supplies, healthcare materials, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Agency staff want authorities to open more entry points and guarantee protected transit for relief personnel and civilians who are going back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks until only recently.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the nation on last Saturday for carrying out nocturnal attacks on non-military sites that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the south of Lebanon has been the focus of a atrocious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," Aoun remarked.
• Israel provided a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to free as in accordance with the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be let go in the eastern part of the city, one hundred to the region, and 135 will be sent abroad. Originally, when representatives of the group presented a roster of proposed inmates to be freed to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the freeing of well-known Palestinian political figures such as the figure. However, Netanyahu's office confirmed it refuses to release him.
