Major Updates

• Tens of thousands of individuals made their way to the severely damaged Gaza's north on last Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. Those still 48 captives—some 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be freed by Monday.
• Uncertainties persist over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military gradually pull back and if the group will relinquish arms, as required in the president's truce agreement. PM Netanyahu, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in spring, suggested that the nation might renew its offensive if the group fails to surrender its weapons.
• The United Nations was authorized by Israel to start distributing expanded humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. The relief will involve a large quantity that have been stored in neighboring countries such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as humanitarian officials awaited clearance from Israeli forces to resume their efforts.
• UN spokesperson the spokesman reported to journalists on the end of the week that petrol, medicines, and vital resources have begun moving through the crossing point. Agency staff are urging authorities to unseal further entry points and ensure safe movement for aid workers and civilians who are returning to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks until only recently.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced the nation on the weekend for executing raids during the night on civilian facilities that the ministry said killed at least one person. "For another time, southern Lebanon has been the object of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," he stated.
• Israel shared a list of the Palestinian detainees that it intends to release as part of the peace accord agreed upon with the group. Out of the 250 individuals, fifteen will be released in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the region, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Originally, when representatives of the group presented a list of suggested inmates to be released to mediators in the Arab Republic, they called for the freeing of high-profile individuals such as the figure. Yet, the prime minister's team stated it will not agree to free him.
