• Questions remain over the future governance of Gaza as forces slowly withdraw and whether the group will relinquish arms, as called for in Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a truce in March, suggested that Israel might renew its military campaign if they refuses to give up its weapons.
• The United Nations was authorized by the government to start distributing increased aid into the Gaza Strip starting on Sunday. The relief will involve a large quantity that have been stored in nearby nations such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as aid workers were waiting for authorization from Israeli forces to restart their work.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric informed reporters on the end of the week that petrol, medical supplies, and vital resources have commenced entering through the crossing point. UN officials are urging the Israeli government to allow access through additional entry points and ensure secure passage for relief personnel and residents who are returning to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.

"Once again, the south of Lebanon has been the target of a heinous offensive against non-military facilities—without justification or rationale," the president remarked.

Out of the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be let go in eastern Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled.
