President Trump has indicated that "largely, parties are aligned" on how the next stages of the Gaza ceasefire plan will work, though he admitted that "some of the details … will be worked out."

"They're assembling them at present," he said, referring to the captives yet to be freed in the region. "They are in pretty rough situations."

He, who has been lauded by Hamas and many in Israel for his involvement in achieving a ceasefire deal, said he thinks the accord will "be sustained" because "the parties are exhausted by the conflict."
