Morning, Leila.

Okay, so this doesn't exactly sound like a ceasefire if both sides seem to be firing.

What do we know about what Israel says prompted the airstrikes?

OK, so this comes a week after President Trump visited the region to celebrate this ceasefire that he basically brokered.

But is that ceasefire just now unraveling if both sides appear to be attacking each other?

And what has Hamas said about this?

Okay, and this brings us to a delegation of visitors arriving today from the Trump White House who hope to get things back on track.

Who's heading there?

That's NPR's Rob Schmitz in Tel Aviv.

Thank you, Rob.

The government shutdown is entering day 20, and there are no serious negotiations to end it.

NPR congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh is here to talk about this.

Good morning.

Good morning, Leila.

Okay, so you've covered previous shutdowns.

What makes this one different?

I mean, the question we've had every day for 20 days is, how does this end?

So are we just going to see more of the same in the week ahead, Deirdre?
