- Questions remain over who will govern the region as Israeli troops gradually pull back and whether the organization will disarm, as stipulated in the proposed deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a halt in fighting in last March, indicated that the country might restart its operations if the group does not relinquish its arms.
- The UN was granted permission by the government to start delivering increased aid into Gaza beginning this Sunday.

Representatives are calling for the Israeli government to unseal further entry points and provide safe movement for aid workers and residents who are going back to regions of the territory that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
- The leader he condemned the Israeli government on Saturday for carrying out raids during the night on civilian facilities that the health authority said killed at least one person. "Yet again, the region has been the focus of a atrocious attack by Israel against civilian installations—unjustifiably or rationale," the president stated.
- Israel disclosed a list of the individuals in custody that it plans to let go as part of the ceasefire agreement agreed upon with the group. From the 250 Palestinian prisoners, a group of 15 will be released in the eastern part of the city, 100 to the West Bank, and the remainder will be expelled. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of proposed prisoners to be freed to mediators in the Arab Republic, they demanded the freeing of high-profile individuals such as Marwan Barghouti. However, the prime minister's team confirmed it will not agree to let go the individual.
