Key Developments

• Many of Palestinians made their way to the largely ruined northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire was implemented. The remaining 48 individuals—some 20 of them considered living—are to be released by Monday.
• Issues linger over who will govern Gaza as Israel's military gradually pull back and if the group will disarm, as called for in the proposed deal. The Israeli leader, who terminated on his own a ceasefire in last March, suggested that the country might renew its military campaign if the group fails to surrender its military assets.
• The international body was granted permission by Israeli authorities to commence distributing scaled-up relief into the Gaza Strip starting on this Sunday. The relief will include significant amounts that have been stored in adjacent states such as the Kingdom of Jordan and Egypt as aid workers were waiting for permission from the army to restart their work.
• A representative from the UN Stéphane Dujarric informed reporters on the end of the week that petrol, medical supplies, and other critical materials have started flowing through the Kerem Shalom border point. Representatives are urging the Israeli government to open more crossing points and guarantee secure passage for humanitarian staff and the population who are returning to regions of the territory that were under heavy fire until only recently.
• Lebanese President he denounced the Israeli government on last Saturday for conducting overnight strikes on public installations that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous attack by Israel against civilian installations—with no valid reason or pretext," Aoun said.
• The government provided a inventory of the Palestinian prisoners that it aims to free as part of the truce deal agreed upon with Hamas. Of the 250 detainees, 15 will be freed in East Jerusalem, a hundred to the West Bank, and one hundred thirty-five will be expelled. Initially, when Hamas officials provided a roster of proposed prisoners to be freed to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the release of well-known Palestinian political figures such as Marwan Barghouti. But, the prime minister's team stated it declines to release the individual.
