Representatives are calling for Israel to open more entry points and guarantee safe movement for aid workers and residents who are going back to parts of Gaza that were subject to intense shelling up until lately.
- The president of Lebanon the head of state condemned the Israeli government on last Saturday for conducting raids during the night on public installations that the ministry said killed at least one person. "Once again, southern Lebanon has been the object of a egregious Israeli aggression against civilian structures—with no valid reason or excuse," he said.
- The government disclosed a roster of the Palestinian detainees that it aims to free as in accordance with the ceasefire agreement made with the organization. Out of the 250 detainees, a group of 15 will be released in the eastern part of the city, a hundred to the region, and the remainder will be deported. Originally, when Hamas officials provided a roster of proposed detainees to be freed to negotiators in the Arab Republic, they called for the freeing of well-known Palestinian political figures such as the activist. But, the prime minister's team stated it refuses to release Barghouti.
