Major Updates

• Many of Palestinians made their way to the heavily destroyed Gaza's north on the end of the week as a ceasefire mediated by the US took hold. The 48 hostages—about 20 of them thought to be living—are to be released by next Monday.
• Questions remain over leadership in Gaza as Israeli troops slowly withdraw and if the group will give up weapons, as stipulated in the president's truce agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called off a truce in last March, hinted that the nation might resume its offensive if they fails to surrender its military assets.
• The United Nations was granted permission by Israeli authorities to begin distributing expanded humanitarian assistance into Gaza from this Sunday. This assistance will include significant amounts that have already been positioned in nearby nations such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as aid workers were waiting for authorization from Israel's military to resume their efforts.
• An official Stéphane Dujarric reported to reporters on Friday that petrol, medicines, and other critical materials have commenced entering through the crossing point. Representatives want authorities to allow access through additional entry points and ensure safe movement for relief personnel and residents who are going back to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling just a short time ago.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced Israel on the weekend for conducting nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health ministry said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the region has been the target of a egregious offensive against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or excuse," he remarked.
• Israel shared a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to release as under the ceasefire agreement made with Hamas. Out of the 250 individuals, a group of 15 will be released in East Jerusalem, one hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be deported. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a selection of suggested detainees to be let go to mediators in the country, they called for the liberation of high-profile Palestinian political figures such as the activist. However, the Israeli government confirmed it refuses to release the individual.
