President Trump has indicated that "in general, there is consensus" on how the subsequent phases of the truce agreement for Gaza will unfold, though he conceded that "some of the details … will be finalized."

"Hamas is gathering them at present," the president said, mentioning the hostages still held in the region. "They are in quite harsh situations."

Of the 250 detainees, fifteen will be released in eastern Jerusalem, one hundred to the region, and 135 will be sent abroad.
