Major Updates

• Tens of thousands of individuals headed back to the severely damaged northern Gaza on the end of the week as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. The remaining 48 hostages—some 20 of them considered alive—are scheduled to be freed by the start of the week.
• Uncertainties persist over who will govern Gaza as forces slowly withdraw and whether the group will disarm, as required in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who called off a ceasefire in last March, suggested that the nation might renew its operations if Hamas does not relinquish its military assets.
• The United Nations was authorized by Israeli authorities to begin delivering scaled-up relief into the territory starting on Sunday. The relief will involve 170,000 metric tons that have already been positioned in adjacent states such as Jordan and the Arab Republic of Egypt as relief coordinators expected permission from Israeli forces to restart their operations.
• An official he informed journalists on the end of the week that fuel, healthcare materials, and vital resources have started flowing through the crossing point. Representatives are calling for the Israeli government to unseal further border crossings and guarantee protected transit for humanitarian staff and the population who are coming back to areas in Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on Saturday for carrying out overnight strikes on civilian facilities that the health authority said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a atrocious attack by Israel against non-military facilities—with no valid reason or rationale," Aoun stated.
• The government shared a roster of the individuals in custody that it intends to let go as under the ceasefire agreement reached with the organization. From the 250 individuals, fifteen will be released in eastern Jerusalem, 100 to the Palestinian territory, and the remainder will be deported. Initially, when Hamas officials submitted a selection of proposed prisoners to be freed to negotiators in the country, they called for the release of high-profile Palestinian leaders such as the activist. However, Netanyahu's office stated it will not agree to free Barghouti.
