Updates: Hamas-Israel ceasefire holds

US President Donald Trump has said that Gaza Board of Peace will have heads of state from many countries.

“Lot more safety in Gaza in the present than earlier,” the US president added.

Hamas said it had no military installations in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, dismissing Israel's claims of having hit a Hamas training compound on Tuesday as "lies".

Blaming Israel for a "brutal assault" on the Ain al-Helweh camp, Hamas said in a statement that "claims that the targeted location was a 'training compound affiliated with the movement' are pure fabrications and lies," as it insisted: "There are no military installations in the Palestinian camps in Lebanon."

An Israeli strike on the southern Lebanese city of Sidon killed 11 people and wounded four others, said the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The Israeli military said that it struck "militants" whom it said were operating in a training compound in the crowded Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon.

The military said the compound has been used by the Palestinian movement Hamas to carry out attacks against Israel.

There was no immediate comment from Hamas on the strike.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) said Tuesday that his kingdom wanted to normalise relations with Israel through US President Donald Trump's Abraham Accords, but first needed a "clear path" to Palestinian statehood.

"We want to be part of the Abraham Accords. But we also want to be sure that we secure a clear path of two-state solution," MBS said in the Oval Office alongside Trump. "We're going to work on that, to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible," he added.

Pressed by Trump, who said that his guest had a "very good feeling" for the Abraham Accords, the prince said: "We want peace for the Israelis. We want peace for the Palestinians." "We want them to coexist peacefully in the region, and we will do our best to reach that date."

The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco in 2020 became the first Arab states in decades to normalise relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, hailed by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a signature diplomatic triumph.

Saudi Arabia would be a much bigger prize due to its status as guardian of the holiest sites and its influence in the Arab and Islamic worlds. Unlike the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said that Palestinian statehood is its goal.

Netanyahu has long opposed a two-state solution, despite a lukewarm endorsement of Palestinian aspirations in a ceasefire agreement in Gaza pushed by Trump. Netanyahu leads a coalition with far-right supporters who not only reject Palestinian statehood but also want Israel to annex the West Bank.

Pakistan has dispatched the sixth consignment of humanitarian aid to Egypt for the people of Gaza.

In a statement, the Pakistan embassy in Egypt said a special chartered aircraft from Pakistan carrying 100 tonnes of humanitarian and relief supplies landed at El-Arish International Airport, Egypt.

The relief consignment includes non-food items, such as tents, tarpaulin sheets, and jerry cans.

A total of 25 relief consignments, including today’s flight, carrying 2,427 tons, have been dispatched to humanitarian organisations and medical facilities in Gaza.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called the passing of a US-backed resolution on Gaza an important step in the consolidation of the ceasefire, in a statement sent to reporters.

"It is essential now to translate the diplomatic momentum into concrete and urgently needed steps on the ground," Guterres said in the statement, adding that the UN is committed to scaling up humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

Guterres also said it was important to continue advancing to the second phase of the U.S. plan, leading to a political process to achieve a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

UN agencies have complained that, more than a month after the ceasefire, they still cannot get enough aid into Gaza to meet the needs of millions of people displaced and traumatised by the two-year war.

"We are managing to get more in, but it's not enough," Ricardo Pires, spokesperson for the UN children's agency, told a Geneva press briefing on Tuesday.

Pakistan strongly condemned the continuing violations by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank, including repeated storming of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and provocations against worshippers.

In a statement, the Foreign Office (FO) said that such actions constitute a blatant violation of international law and the relevant UN resolutions.

Pakistan calls upon the international community to take urgent measures to ensure the protection of the holy sites, prevent further settler violence and incursions, and uphold relevant UN resolutions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for Hamas to be expelled from the region, a day after the UN Security Council endorsed President Donald Trump's plan to end the war that offers the Palestinian resistance group amnesty.

Netanyahu published a series of posts on X in response to the UN vote. In one post, he applauded Trump and in another wrote the Israeli government believes the plan would lead to peace and prosperity because it calls for the "full demilitarisation, disarmament, and deradicalization of Gaza".

"Israel extends its hand in peace and prosperity to all of our neighbors" and calls on neighbouring countries to "join us in expelling Hamas and its supporters from the region," he said.

JERUSALEM: The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, saying it would bring "peace and prosperity" after it was endorsed by the UN Security Council.

"We believe that [US] President Trump's plan will lead to peace and prosperity because it insists upon full demilitarisation, disarmament [...] of Gaza," Netanyahu's office said.

"True to President Trump's vision, this will lead to further integration of Israel and its neighbours as well as expansion of Abraham Accords," it added.

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian foreign ministry on Tuesday hailed the UN Security Council´s vote in favour of US President Donald Trump´s Gaza peace plan, and called for its swift implementation on the ground.

"State of Palestine welcomes the UN resolution on Gaza," the foreign ministry said in a statement on X, stressing "the urgent need to immediately implement this resolution on the ground".
